Kughes, maybe you should show your Mom Linda's post on people who have quit after smoking for forty years. Also, Linda and Hal's Gold X 2 celebration with their picture at the top, beaming great smiles out to everyone. Nice to hear you're doing well with your quit. Wouldn't it be cool if your Mom joined Freedom? Your mom sounds like a terrific woman.
I find it difficult to talk to my smoking friends who are engaging in junkie thinking. I tell them all about WhyQuit but you know you can't force people to do things they don't want to do. One friend has told me that she can't quit smoking. Another friend whose love affair with the butts basically mirrors mine, quit cold turkey for 1-1/2 days, picked up again, and then told me that she was going to quit by cutting back: first, one cig an hour, second, one cig every hour and a half, third, one every two hours, and so on and so forth. I told her that she would be torturing herself and that it wouldn't work. Amazingly, my mother-in-law actually has a friend who did quit that way. Eventually her friend got down to one to two cigs a day, and just stopped.
So if I have trouble talking to friends, I can see how delicate this might be with a parent. Good luck!
yqs, janet
I have chosen not to smoke for 1 Month 3 Weeks 6 Days 10 Hours 9 Minutes 41 Seconds. Cigarettes not smoked: 1148. Money saved: $287.12.
