Dads passed away

[nsd_user663_59644]

And while all the upset raw emotion, I want to say I just didn't feel the need to smoke, that must be a part of me now. Smoking is nothing.

I,m so upset, but felt the need to say, as I,ve not posted as much as normal, didn't want people to think I,ve jus vanished

So sorry to hear of your loss, Tracey. I know what you're going through, but really good news regarding the quit and having no desire to smoke.

Sorry for your loss; been there, it sucks, but it does get better. Focus on the good memories and let your tears heal you.

I know what you are saying though; when my mum died when was young and a smoker and I pretty much tried to smoke 24/7, it didn't really help.

My brother in law died from cancer a couple of years into my quit, I'd visit him several times a week in the hospice in the months before he died and when I drove home I would be in tears, but smoking didn't cross my mind, when the end came again smoking didn't even cross my mind. When my dad died a couple of years ago year, like anyone I was devastated but smoking didn't even occur to me. Tonight I'm sat here missing my 4 year old Labrador like crazy, she died suddenly a month ago, just went to sleep one night and never woke up, although she was just a dog she was deeply loved so the shock was massive but again at no point did I consider smoking.

It simply becomes something we used to do, you don't forget it but it stops being something which defines you.

Anyway I'll just pop off and pour myself a whisky raise a glass to the memory of the man who raised a truly wonderful member of this forum.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Will hopefully have more time next week, to be more active, like any other child that parents died, so very much happening.

Thanks again
