Day 632

My dad was a great man. A quiet leader, and a math genius. He was a high school math teacher in a small town and was admired by everyone. An all american guy that seemed to have his act together in every way. Except for his nicotine addiction. That addiction was a big part of his life. I remember the ceiling over his chair being stained yellow until mom made him smoke only in the garage. He exercised less as the years stacked up. Eating habits faded. But mosty the nicotine wore on him. Blood pressure went up. Cholesterol up. He looked perfectly fine. 25 years ago today, at the age of 52, nicotine claimed him as a victim. And my addiction, at age 17, was just beginning to blossom at that point.

Thank you ktc for making it possible for me to not follow in his footsteps. We all have a lot to be thankful for today.
Amen, great post.
I quit with you today w2w.
Glad to quit with you today.
Quit with you w2w
What these bad asses already said
Thank you for the post, proud to be quit with you today.
Yes, great post. Thanks for strengthening my quit.
Super proud to be quit with you WtW!
This is why we quit; so we can live. Thanks for sharing with all of us. EDD with you brother.
Another powerful reminder that this addiction is powerful enough to span generations. Thanks for posting this.
If you dad could read this, I bet he would say that you are a great man, you are a quiet leader and you are the genius who decided to quit nicotine and get it out of your life!

Proud to be quit with you and I am sure you dad looks down and is very please with his boy.

Great post.
Good shit brotha. 52 is too damn young. I have lost most of my loved ones to smoking. COPD, lung cancer, CVA, heart attack, you name it. I was well on the way too. Thank God we found this place. Proud to be quit with you WTW. Keep it up man.
Thank you Worktowin for this post.
Powerful post brother. You are at the top of my list.
Thank you for this post. We that grew up with smoking parents had nicotine flowing through our veins without knowing and without consent. And I know our parents didn't know that was occurring either. But we are breaking those chains and stopping that legacy. Thank you for being here and sowing strength into my quit and countless others. Your dad would be very proud of you my friend.
Thank you for that great post. Also, thank you for all of your support in DEC 13. I always love to see your name there!

That's a good point as I really believe this does span generations. Those of is who grew up with parents who smoked, whether we believe it or are concious of it, that example has been set that tobacco is ok. The same reason why everybody here abstains from all forms of nicotine not just the can. If you become permissive with one form very quickly you'll be right back where you started. The goal here is to set a higher standard. So for those of you who are doing this with kids in the house know that you're setting a better example for them too. While there's no guarantees you're giving them a much better start off than what many of our generation had.
