Reciprocity

I also agree strongly that it matters that you do whatever it takes to quit & remain quit! It matters to your health, to your wallet and to achieving freedom from slavery to nicotine that controls your entire life.

Nope!

What if my dog only brings the ball back because he thinks I like throwing it?

That's why there's only one rule in quitting; NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) Not easy sometimes but really a very simple concept.

Pretty much sums up our day on the lake

Well; it was a beautiful day! Sunny and about 72 degrees with almost no wind so nice for a day on the lake. Fish were chillaxing too I guess because we only got 1 I caught it but am not great at taking them off the hook as they seem to be pretty angry at that point

I'm pretty sure it's already too late for him in terms of some sort of lung issues. I noticed this year he's coughing a lot more than he ever did before yet his consumption has not reduced. As you well know, continuing along that road will only make things worse ... much worse. I'm afraid he may be someone who just doesn't have it in him to put up with the initial sacrifices and do the really hard work it takes to quit successfully. His life situation has been such that he's never had to do that in other areas of his life. (Dad/Mom own a company where he has a job - notice I didn't say 'works'? I wonder if parents who do that sort of thing with their kids, protecting them from life, ever understand that they're doing them a huge disservice? Adversity builds character!)
