My Dad Did That
I remember when Dad was still a smoker, Mom had quit, and we kids were always worried about him. Then one day we were all being asked what we wanted for Christmas, and my little brother (he was, what? four?) said all he wanted was Daddy to quit. Bless his little heart. Dad did, that moment. Never touched another. His temper raged a bit more for awhile (actually took some type of calming pill the Dr. prescribed since he got REALLY cranky), but then he mellowed. Really, he'd smoked since a teen, and was 40 when he quit, so you can't blame him for having adjustment problems. He hasn't had one since. I always think back to that innocent little boy making the difference for our family, and Dad having the heart to take him up on the deal. You did the right thing, and your kids will thank you in the future (if they aren't already) as we thank our dad. Good luck--and pray a lot, it will help!!
