Dear Joel
 
I finally last night felt comfortable enough in my quit to tell my parents, who were both overjoyed that I have stopped.  My mother is an ex smoker, but my father still smokes.  He is 76 and has been smoking since he was 12.  He has tried all the usual methods of giving up but has failed every time.  He is an alcoholic, albiet one who hasn't had a drink for years.  He is very keen to find out how I did it and I said I would print your library for him because he doesn't have access to the internet.  I was also going to print off a few of the threads from Freedom if that is okay and I wondered whether there was any particular advice you would give him?  Or if there is anything that I should draw his attention to?
 
Regards and thank you
 
Lucinda
