Hey Ron - Happy New Year to you too! I don't think it will last a year. My situation is different because I am diabetic and have several other health issues. Plus - it lasted a year because they (my doctors) didn't know what was wrong with me. there were several misdiagnoses before we got it all sorted out. If you can get her to the docs I suggested, and if you can look at her with compassion for the hurting she feels, then you're really going to be Ok, and so will she!

Hi Misty and happy new year! I don't know if i can handle a full year of this. My quit is strong, and so is my wife's, but she is totally miserable. She's also yelling at our kids all the time. Mind you they're over 18, and I think they understand her dilemma. I really appreciate your insight and hope things will return to normal in less than a year.

Yeah, and so is Phil! You're one of my favorite people at the SCA! Goofy - I said something about this on another thread, but don't know if you saw it or not. You're wife is suffering. Whether it's as simple as a mindset and bitterness, or if it's chemical and hormonal, she's hurting far far far worse than she's hurting you. I was absolutely misserable for well over a year (and consequently - so was my family). I started anti-depressants with no luck, and finally went to my woman doctor and found that I had gone into premature menopause at the same time I quit (My doctor says they're not related) and he started my on oral progesterone and that made me feel SOOOO much BETTER! I feel for you, but I feel even more for your wife. Trust me - it's not easy being meen! She should probably see her female doctor, MD, and then someone qualified to prescribe anti-depressants, if they rule everything else out. Also - You might look into the possibility that YOUR addiction is causing you to put an extra negative spin on her behavior, because you know what happens a lot to couples that quit together? One will subconciously try to get the other to smoke again so that they can use that as an excuse to smoke themselves. Not saying that's happening here - just giving your something to think about. I hope that things get better for both of you very very soon! This story makes me so sad. :( Gods bless my husband for taking the abuse I threw at him for over a year!

She's still pretty mean and sarcastic. She's yelling about wanting a cigarette at every trigger.
