My father smoled about 1½-2 packs a day (... and we have 25 smokes in a pack up here !!), for more than 30 years ... one March Break, my mother and us 3 kids went up north to my aunt's house for the week ...

My father stayed home, because he had to work (he was the manager of an A&P grocery store, and could not get vacation at that time).

Well ... he took VERY ill, and was bed-ridden for 4 days ... My mother didn't hear from him, and tried calling home, but repeatedly got no answer! She was freaking out, assuming that he was shacked up with some other woman, and not at home. By the last day of our vacation, he called her and told her of his "bout with death" (yes, it was really THAT bad ... he still to this day thinks it was a minor heart attack, but is too fucking stubborn to go to a hospital or even a doctor when he is sick).

Anyways ... when he was feeling better, and was getting mobile again, he went to light up, and it dawned on him, that he had just gone for 4 days without one ... if he could do that, than he could go for 4 weeks, 4 months, 4 years, etc.

He just quit cold turkey !!! threw his remaining cigarettes in the toilet, and gave his lighter to our neighbor (he had a really fancy zippo that he'd had since he was a teenager).

I was 11 years old when this happened. I will be 32 this coming November. He said that many times he'd go to light up, and it would then dawn on him "Hey ... I don't smoke anymore.", and he admits to asking somebody for one at a party ... but he never ever did start back up.

I wish I could have his willpower !!

I've been smoking since I was 14, (not overly heavy though- a pack might last me 3 days, and now I've cut back to ULTRA LIGHTS for over a year), the longest I've been able to quit for is about 2 weeks ... I tried countless times ... trying to psyche myself to give it another go soon, since I haven't tried in about 3 years ... going thru a messy divorce and quitting smoking did not mix !!

=========================
FOOTNOTE: My mother never stated smoking until she started dating my father. They drove around alot in my fathers BRAND NEW '64 GT MUSTANG ($2300.00 in '64), and he would have her "light his cigarettes while he was driving ... to this day, she still smokes a pack a day of BELVEDEREs (one of the harshest cigarettes we have - If I ran out, and bummed a couple from her, it was almost inspiration enough to quit

).
Myself, my younger sister, and my baby brother all smoke still
