How to quit smoking thru baseball

that is a great story!! I bet your son felt so good running around the bases

Way to go BD46 , not only to quit cold-turkey, but also to hold your end of the bargain. I'll bet your son has learned a lesson from that experience about keeping your word.

I guess I'm not that "nice".

A couple years ago my daughters bet my occasional cigar smoking that they ski across the lake backward hanging onto the rope with their ankle. It was a stupid bet because I knew they could do it. The next morning I asked if they were ready to go. They said "where?" I said Lake Michigan.

I still enjoy my occasional cigar.

BB Dad 46,

Very cool story. Your son will probably never be more proud of a homerun, than the one that made his dad "Quit"!

I quit smoking cold turkey many years ago. No great story like Baseball Dad 46. I quit because I got sick and tired of hacking, coughing and being short of breath all the time.

I'll tell you one way to START smoking. Watch either of my boys pitch.

They love to get up 0-2, then run the count 3-2 before (hopefully) getting the guy out.

Biggerpapi, my son's the same way. Haven't been tempted to smoke, but if there's no bathroom nearby, I'm in big trouble.

My son pitches , I know what you mean. I think back to when I played I would get nervous before games but as soon as I stepped on the field my nerves went away, but when my son pitches I feel like i am going to be the relief pitcher, I know it is because we want them do there best but I really could go for a smoke when he pitches.

I quit cold turkey as well but for different reasons

When I had what they termed my first "stroke" I just stopped on doctors suggestion, no questions asked--my youngest son helped me tremendously because when I got back from the doctors all tobaccco elements in the house including ash trays and all my pipes were in the trash pails

I had stopped smoking cigs many moons back and I was a two pack a day guy---I lost my voice in the recording studio and never smoked a cig again---it cost me more than 10 grand for studio time, musicians etc that night as we could not make the sesssion work that night and all musicians in the session left without their cigs as I was so ticked off that I took any and all cigs and burned them in the middle of the studio--
