Lucinda,
First off - CONGRATULATIONS to YOU for deciding to get rid of cigarettes & nicotine!! You are still in your first month and sound like you are gaining confidence every day! Horray! We would be pleased and honored if you would consider joining a great group of quitters at the FreedomFromTobaccoQuitSmokingNow forum.
I decided to write to you because I had a similar situation. Mom & Dad both smokers, Mom quit first (10 years an ex-smoker before she passed) Dad still smoked. When I quit last January I could tell my Dad was both intrigued about how I had quit after 40 years and embarassed that he still smoked when we were together. I explained how I approached my 'smoking problem' not as quitting smoking but as overcoming an addiction to nicotine. Cigarettes are not the issue, nicotine in our blood and brain is the issue.
I wrote this post at Freedom in June about my Dad - Great News.
Lucinda, it never is too late, we are never too old to Decide for Ourselves that we, not nicotine, control our lives. As Dad so typically said - You Just Gotta Wanna and NTAP!
Within the month I will be one-year quit and on the 20th my dad Al will be Nicotine Free and healing for 6 Months! You and your Dad can join us in knowing that by removing nicotine you can make living the rest of your lives the best of your lives!
