After trying gum, patches, inhalers, Wellbutrin, hypnosis and cold turkey and failing at all of them, the only thing that finally worked for me was watching my Dad become stricken with COPD, put on oxygen 24/7 and seeing him unable to walk more than five steps without doubling over gasping for breath. He used to be the most active and physical person I've ever seen. Now he can barely get out of bed. Believe me, THAT opened my eyes.

Now, when I think I want a cig I think of my formerly robust, muscular father, who now looks like a skeleton and can't speak two words without gasping for breath for five minutes.

Scared the HELL out of me!!!
