Hi mati,I will post my story,it just might help in some way.....I hope so.
After smoking 52 yrs I was at risk of having my feet amputated,my ankles were clotting due to bad circulation ,can you imagine thinking your feet were about to be cut off .....I was scared like you couldn't imagine.....I had nightmares ,I was living a hell,....
I had reduced my cigs to about 5 a day....but just couldn't stop them altogether.....
Smoking those few a day....where just as much a nightmare,I would light one up,and cry the whole way through it....
I was scared to smoke ,but scared to do with out my crutch too.....
It got to the point where I was ready for some help......I came to these people......I soaked in all the info like a sponge.....
Day by day they got me through....I'm so proud of my ticker.......
My non smoking kids,didnt shout ,they tried the gentle Encouragement approach...,I was living a hell anyway with out folks shouting...
Whatbimmtrying to say is.....your mum might be feeling like me....and will get there in her own time.....
She is on a board.....it will sink in.....I owe the people here everything.....I wouldn't have done it with out them....
Try and be patient.....she may surprise you.
Hugs
Doreen
