My Dad Stopped Smoking :o

This is beyond startling.  It actually happened a couple months ago, but I didn't say anything because I didn't think it would stick.  He has been smoking since he was a child!  In the past, he would buy a carton at a time, and let me know when he was almost out.  Then we would go to the smoke shop.  One day he just didn't ask.  I couldn't believe it.  I went to the store to get him some Nicorette gum, hoping that would help it stick.  I offered him a piece a few times a day for the first few days, then a couple a day, then one.  I gathered up all the lighters so they would not be a reminder.  And the days went on...  At a recent doctor visit, he said he had quit years ago lol!  I am thrilled and relieved.  Although he always smoked outside, he sometimes used the stove to light them and left the gas on once!  Here's to hoping they are gone for good!
