As usual, coming into this a bit late, but my hat is off to you, Monica. For what it's worth, you're doing everything right, and your father's own death will be incalculably more peaceful because of your accomplishment and your strength. I hope that we are are providing you with some of what you need to help your father along his own path.

Holding you tightly and deeply in my heart, Monica. Your quit is the greatest memorial your father could wish for; maintaining it against all odds honors him and his life more than anything either of you could ask or imagine. May you continue so to honor him. peteg [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/30/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 38 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,935 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $209 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

Dear Monica, I want to tell you how much your post has helped me. I woke up feeling depressed and possessed. I didn't like who I was or how I was feeling and I didn't like how I was acting toward others. I felt that it was hopeless to try to fool myself into thinking I could quit after 40 years of smoking and even though I had 50 days, I was just going to smoke. But then I read your post. I thought that if you could stay quit through all of that, who am I to throw it all away? You [u]are[/u] strong and your post has touched my heart. I don't know how to tell you in words just how much your sharing your experiences have helped me to stay quit and to get back in touch with the important aspect of all this, which is for us to reclaim our lives and stay in touch with our higher power. I don't post much of the negative thoughts I have because I think they are just passing things, but I want you to know how much you helped me, and others too, I'm sure. My prayers are with you and I am very grateful that you are sharing this painful experience here in this forum. I hope I have conveyed a little of the impact your strength, hope, and wisdom has on others.
