An Open Letter To My Son-In-Law Robert

Hello again, Robert. I don't know if you're reading this, but if you're not there may be another person out there on day four who's lurking on this site.
Check out all these replies from people here who truly care about you. You're past the peak of the physical symptoms and are now beginning to meet and defeat some of the many psychological triggers that you will slowly but surely overcome.
Eventually you'll have good days and bad, right now you're probably having good "hours" and bad, but trust me when I tell you that it will get better. Right now there is absolutely nothing in your life that is more important than your quit. I have since found out that daughter has quit also, but do not "buddy up" with each other on this. If one of you should relapse, God forbid, don't let that ruin the other one's quit. Your quit doesn't depend on hers and vice versa. You can only quit for yourself.
You can do this, it just takes time. Quitting is not an event, it's a process. It's one day after another, (one hour after another) of not putting nicotine into your body. If you take one puff at this point you get to start the process all over again, or smoke for the rest of your life--those are the only two choices. You can't have just one, but you can have a pack and then a carton and then a case, etc.
Hang in there, both of you. You can do this. Your addictions are no different from any of the hundreds that are members of this group. Don't ever think you're different, that's what sets you up for failure.
I'm pulling for you. Since you quit on your 25th birthday instead of your 50th, maybe that makes you twice as smart as me. You can hold that over my head for the rest of my life. You know you don't want to lose that opportunity!!
Dave
I don't smoke and I don't chew and I don't go with the girls that do. 1 Year 7 Months 3 Weeks 4 Days 9 Hours 25 Minutes 30 Seconds, with an extra $2,644.22 in my pocket. Somewhere there are an extra 21153 smokes.
