Hi Lady, I've been very interested in following the journey of your Dads quit. Just wanted to let you know I am hoping for a good outcome for your Dad, you, and your family. It may take a while, but all good things do don't they? Please keep us informed, we all care.

Hey Lady, it sounds like he is being a joy to live with. ;) No matter how mean and cranky he gets, he is also being smoke-free, better smelling , healthier and richer! Those are the things that will make these first weeks all worth it. The day will come, hopefully sooner than later, when he will thank you and apologize for his stubborness over not quitting smoking sooner. What a great day that will be for you!! Hang in there Lady, this is a good time for the 2 of you, beleive it or not!!

Lady, I'm sorry things aren't going so well with his quit. I wonder at his hesitancy on using the patch. Maybe he thinks just having a few cigarettes a day is "quitting". Some people do. I think you are doing the right thing in letting him be. You have given him all the tools and encouragement you can and now the rest is up to him. I'm an optimist so I'm hoping he is cutting back to prepare for the real quit. Fingers crossed.

Lady I was wondering how you and your Dad are doing. If you don't want to talk about it I understand, but just wanted you to know you are both in my thoughts. Good thoughts to the two of you.

Lady, You have been there for me and everyone else on this site, all you need to do is be there for him like you have been here for us. You are a very caring, supportive, sensative, inspirational person and if your dad wants to quit he will let you help him.
