whiski_sourDad stopped smoking yesterday. I know this sounds like a good, healthy step for him, and should he live through it, it will be.
But, he's going cold turkey. That's dangerous business after smoking 1 1/2 to 3 packs a day for thirty plus years. He's tried using the patches (he smoked with them on, missing the point of the patches) and tried cutting down gradually like I did, but neither worked. So once again he's going cold turkey.
This might be it for him. He might actually do it and I'm rooting for him to get it done and I'll be supportive.
But, all I can think about it that one time he tried to quit smoking and after three days my mother threatened to run him over with the car if he didn't start again because he was driving her nuts.
So, yes, I'm hoping for good things while I build my bunker.
