I've been trying to get my girlfriend to quit, even using her lack off money as a motivator, yet still she continues smoking...bah!

I guess you have to want to quit to actually quit.

Just keep at it. I'm sure everything will go well for you.

Great job JM! Take that money you're saving and put it in your retirement plan. You'll be surprised how quick it will build up.

Great job Johhny! There are a few of us that make the turn to a better life. I know a few people in their 40's and 50's who still didn't grow up. A guy I used to work with is 54. He smokes 2 packs a day and drinks almost a case of beer a day and smokes the good stuff all day except when asleep and working.

I just turned 40 in December and in general am trying to take better care of myself! I don't drink too often and quit smoking about 8 yrs ago. I'm just saying in general to directed to anyone. If you really want to quit smoking you will. I will tell you what worked for me but may not for everybody. For me I quit cold turkey. I think it's the only permanent way to quit. Gums and patches are crutches and may lead to starting again. I didn't change anything in my life except smoking. I still had my morning coffee but without a cigg. I even went with a buddy to a smoke filled bar to have just a beer. :cheers I still went outside at work on break and sat with my smoker buddies. I figured this way instead of avoiding all the smokers and then getting together again and start smoking again, I would not avoid and deal with others smoking and I'm not. No crutches for me I toughed it out and it wasn't that hard. The mind is powerful and if you want to you will.

Don't be a slave to these ciggs. Other people don't tell me what to do and now I wont let ciggs tell me to smoke them!

One thing that helped me quit my vices was the places that sold the stuff. You can buy a pack or 2 of smokes every day for years from the same place. One day you are a little short on cash and ask them to let you have a couple of packs because you are a steady customer. LOL Good Luck Same with Liquor stores. You spend all your money, drink up your pay check, think they will give you a free jug because you are good guy? Hell NO they dont give a damn Just give me your money. Quitting was my way of saying F.ck you!!!

Well, we are all on your side Johnny. :thumb

My Mom smoked so I grew up hating it. Still picked up on a few addictive habits, just not that one. :-/

Drinking was pretty easy. Easy to do in under age in the Navy. Easy to drink after I was legal, and I could do so in public. Easy to quit after passing out on the toilet, tossing my tacos a few times and not hanging with my "dumbass" friends. But that is moi. ;)

Whatever you decide, you have our support. :thumb

Just keep at it. I'm sure everything will go well for you.
Tell me, how does one consciously buy a pack of cigs worth $9 ($5 in Ohio) while knowing they have no money? If one has limited funds, how can one "make room" to buy cigs? Does one sacrifice necessities for a pack of cigs? $9 can buy a lot of things (especially if you go to a farmer's market).

How does a bowl of salad, bottle of grapefruit juice, and a lemon-garlic rubbed chicken seem all of a sudden inferior to a pack of cigs filled with chemicals and nicotine? I do not understand, people.

I. Do. Not. Understand.

She might as well just admit she has a drug problem.

It's an addiction. You just have to be stronger than the addiction.
