Free,
I can't believe I missed this. It has happened to me in the past and there is a threat of it happening again. I know that if it does I will not smoke. I'm sure you won't either.
You (and your husband) do not deserve this. I hope he finds something else. These people are only interested in their own profits and not in employees' loyalty and input. He is better off without them.
Good luck in this and remember you have many friends here..
Mr Ed

BIG HUGS! We are close in our quits so I feel close to you. You have offered me so many wonderful pieces of advice and help when I needed it! I wish that I could make this go away for you! My dad was laid of after 25 years at a company about 4 years ago. My dh was laid off last year. What a crappy feeling to have no income with a family, boy do I know!
I will keep the prayers coming your way and I am here for you whatever you need. You have a great attitude and are being a thoughtful wife by not letting on you are stressed out. I wear my heart on my sleeve and could never pretend I am calm when I am not! Hang in there sweety!
HUGS!

BF you are doing fantastic. I wish I could mirror your strength back at you right now and show you just how beautiful you are shining now. In the event I don't sound like anyone who has preceeded me here, I am in agreement with all advice and especially holding the faith. :)
Sometimes we just don't see miracle that is right in front of us in the midst of what looks like the obstacle, and hard to find the blessing in what appears to be anything but...so my 2 cents would be: DO NOT QUIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE MIRACLE OCCURS!!! :)
Big Hugz and Many Blessings friend,
Eve

Aw Dani, My heart hurts for you - this is really tough. I have been there and know how it feels. I know you will be a rock for your husband and won't smoke. Just wanted to let you know that I'm here and will say some prayers for your family.
I truly believe everything happens for a reason and hope that his next opportunity is one he will enjoy. He's lucky to have a supportive gal like you. All my best,
Hugz,
CobenFan

Free -
Having been out of town for most of these posts - I just wanted to tell you that I am praying for you and your family. I have contacted my prayer circle (really it's good folks all over the US) and have put your family on there as well. I just have a good feeling that something great is going to happen soon. It is fortunate that there are many companies that want to interview your husband and that you and he are staying so strong in your quits...what a testimony.
Keep up posted - and don't worry about the state aid - that's what it is there for. Good people like you! Your children need the health insurance - you are doing it for them. You're amazing and I know that your family knows it too.
Blessings and prayers heading your way...

Breakingfree.... One door closes, another opens. ALWAYS!
Be strong and have faith. You are an awesome quitter and you are absolutely right when you say smoking will not change a thing. Hang in there and vent any time you need to. We are here for you.

Free,
I haven't been around much and just now saw this. I've added you to my prayer list. The Lord will provide a way and He has a plan for you. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. We don't always know the reasons but that is ok.
You hang on tight to that quit you have fought so hard to maintain and keep your possitive attitude. There is a lesson in all of this for you. Chin up, best foot forward, keep going.

Well, I was going to offer some more of my sage advice, but Livadia beat me to it. You go, Livadia! :)
So re-read her post with my voice in your head. :p

Good morning, BF. Glad to hear there is promise in the air. That's got to be uplifting. You're right, he doesn't mess around. :)
I understand your need to support him, but don't forget you are important, too.
Wishing the best for both of you.
