Hi there,
My dad is an addict and he chew tobbacco all the time. My mother, sister and myself has pleaded to stop quiting tobacco. But he doesnt listen to anyone. Its been almost 10 years and now, I am extremely worried. Yesterday, he had some sores in his mouth and he is going to see doctor today. I hope nothing unusual happens. But the way he is going on with his life, sooner or later he will be in big trouble.
Now, if something bad happens like cancer, we will be ruined. In this part of world, he only has $4000 medical insurance.
Now, I have tried various ways. We told him to meet psychiatrist. She asked me father "Do you want to quit?" and my father said "No". She said that unless patient is interested in quitting, she will not start medicine. But, I insisted and she gave him some tablets. But, dad didnt take them for more than 3 days.
He is making fool of us by throwing medicine in toilet.
I confronted him and said "Dad, you are going to kill yourself" and he planly said "I dont care, if I die". Now, this is the stupidiest thing, I have ever heard. How can someone accept death instead of quitting tobbacco.
Now, I am completely sober. I am 30 and till date, I have not touched any cigratte, drugs, alcohol, beer or even non vegetarian. I am completely vegetarian.
Sometimes, I feel like I should quit my day job and rent a house in some remote hilly place. I should stay there with my dad for 4 months . There should not be a single person in 10 mile radius. He shouldnt be able to buy tobacco.Please tell me, what should I do?
