Duckie, your Dad is just fantastic. And he is so right about nicotine being the most addictive drug there is. Lab tests have proven that.
The fog, the craves, the sense of loss, all the things we feel and agonize over when we quit are all signs of healing. Accepting them as such doesn't necessarily make them less, but it does help us to deal with them.
TV dinners, paper plates, dirty house ... fabulous advice from an obviously very wise man.
The fog will clear, Duckie. And the light will be sooo beautiful. You'll see. :)
