Too hard!
Day 31, just found out Dad is not going to be with me for much longer. Sat in the car for 30 mins with all intentions of going to buy a packet of smokes. My daughter came home & stopped me, she reminded me that the the reason Dad is in this situation is from the filthy rotten cancer sticks. He had a stroke 3 years ago, he lost half the right side of his brain, has struggled ever since. Can't sign his name, Can't walk unaided & the list goes on. But he has always been there for me & I"ll love him forever. Please everyone, go strong!!!!
So sorry to hear about your situation. A smoke won't fix anything. It'll just make it all worse sooner or later. You're in my prayers.
Hi Margie,
Well done for hitting day 31, that great :)
It's a hard road that your on, And i wish you and your dad all the very best. It's heartbreaking to see your parent in those situations ( I nursed my mum through lung cancer :( and my dad through open heart surgery :( all smoking related) We as humans think it's not going to happen to us but reality is, It's highly likely it will.
So stay strong and keep on track, Your doing extremely well with all that stress, but this proves to you, that you can do it.. take care xoxoxo
Hi Margie, you're going through a tough time, sorry to hear about your dad. What a great daughter you must have, to keep you on track in your life. She's right, a smoke would not change anything. Hang in there Margie, you're doing great to push through.
All the best to you Margie, my dad had a mini-stroke in my 2nd week of giving up, I instantly lit up until somebody said the same thing to me. Good luck and stay strong you are doing really well.
Stay strong Margie, prove to yourself that you can beat the urge. So sorry to hear about your Dad x
Hugs and thoughts with you Margie. Tomorrow is my Dad's 60th birthday. We would have been having a great big wonderful party if he didn't start smoking, and lose out to lung cancer 10 years ago, when I (his eldest daughter)was 22, his other daughter was 2 weeks off finishing high school, and his first granddaughter (the only one he got to meet) was 1. I know how hard it is to lose a parent and I send you hugs and love and support. Please hold off on the cigs, they won't help, they will only help to continue the cycle and take you away too early from the ones who love you. Well done for sitting in the car and NOT going and buying the packet.
Thank you so much for your words of both sympathy & encouragement. If it wasn't for this site, I would've already been back on the smokes. My beautiful family gives me so much support but I really treasure the support I get from here. I would hate to get on here and have to admit to you all that I gave in. I'd feel like I'd let you all down. So thank you xx Remember,
Life's a biatch & we all need to toughen up :)
its sad to hear bout your dad and im on my 2nd day of trying to quit doc told me im in a bad way but im still not to bad my body will heal and to be honest its one of the hardest things ive done to date good luck with staying on track n remember ppl care n if you need a friend someone is always there for you
