Canuck223 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 My mother made a decision during the summer to quit smoking after 50+ years, taking my dad along for the ride. They were easily 3 pack a day people. They tried the patch, and that got them down to a few cigarettes a day, usually just a puff or two and then put away for later. Last time I checked, they were in a holding pattern, still smoking a few a day but no longer on the patch. Last night at my boys birthday party, they shared that they have been smoke free for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Prior to this, quite frankly I figured we were just a few years away from a funeral or two. Mom could barely breath some days, and dad had a constant cough for the last 5-6 years. Things are looking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
