Today marks a week officially since my Dad stopped smoking!!
It was originally only because I gave him the cold/flu thing I had, and he felt crook, but after years of me (and everyone else) pestering him, he's finally 99.9% sure he's had enough.
He got rid of the ashtray on his desk, he has no new packs/cartons of cigarettes in stock, just the few that fit in the holder he's had for years, which he's keeping on the filing cabinet in his office. It doesn't make sense to me, that he's keeping them because he'd be angry if he felt he wanted one, but wasn't allowed to have it (because there aren't any around), instead he knows they're there, but it's only him stopping himself from having one.
He says he's not 'craving' them, he really couldn't care less, and only really notices it when he sits to have a coffee and realises that he'd usually be having a smoke with it.
He's stopped for 8 months or so before, and went back because he wanted to, but he is saying he's had enough this time, which didn't happen last time. Hopefully he can keep it going permanently!!
