[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 278958, member: 1233"] I am so sorry about your mom's health and lack of appreciation for your worrying and for your brother's care of her. Your post made me remember a line from Criminal Minds. The brainiac character, Dr. Spencer Reed is playing slots and a woman sits next to him. The lady lights up a cigarette and Reed says "Seven Minutes". He then says that he used to say that every time his mom lit up. It meant that a cigarette takes that many minutes off of your life, so each cigarette was a choice to lose 7 minutes of his life that she could be sharing. I don't know if there actually is a set number of minutes each cigarette takes off your life, but it does make it easier to see the choice you are making and some of the input on your life and your family's life. I don't know what methods you have tried, but I know that several of my relatives do very well with Chantix. But others here have had side effects. I hope your brother can hire in some help to take care of your mom. Or, if it is appropriate, get hospice in to help. [/QUOTE]
