Our dad used to be the same although he never got into an accident. I think that what started his change was when we cried about it every night - me and my sister. We kept on asking him to stop smoking WHILE he was smoking and he'd promise he'd stop and when he broke his promise, we'd cry in front of him telling him that he promised. I think it was when he started to become active in Church that he really stopped. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Hello friend, A friend of mine told me that carrot juice reduces the desire to smoke or drink. He used it for himself and he said it worked. He used to have carrot juice before dinner and then he would not feel like drinking that night. The same was the case at lunchtime. I think that might work. All the best

Sounds like a good idea.I will persuade him to drink carrot juice before he goes out to meet his friend.Tks.
