My girlfriend wont stop smoking marijuana? -

I told her I really don-t like that kinda stuff but she says that she can-t help it. She tried to stop smoking for one month but was drawn back.
any ideas on what i can say to her that might help her quit?Its not so much the marijuana, but the person. Its their mind set, whatever they want to do, they will do. Just tell her how you really feel, and if you can-t be with her because she is doing it, then leave. I had to do that before, it sucks but now I am much happier!I don-t know what to say except that about 15% of the population finds pot addictive and she seems to be one of them. For them, stopping pot can be like giving up cigarettes for others -- pretty damn hard. I know some people who have done it, but you really have to want to.this may be offensive but you should try marijuana there are no siriouse long term affects it none addicting and its impossible to OD and the penealty in most states is very minimul but to help her stop i would show her more things in life for a womenNeed more information??? Did you know that she smoked Chiba before you started dating her??? What does it do to her can she not do work the right way, or not study, can she not make friends, spends too much money on it??? Why is there a huge problem with her smoking does it change her dramatically??? Before I can give you an answer to your question I would need more details on the issue. Also how long has she smoked and how much? I used to smoke too and have recently quit but to give you a good answer to fit your specific situation more details would be great. Oh and did you ever smoke and if so does she know that?You ought to consider the fact that your girlfriend might not want to quit. Although it is illegal in the United States, marijuana is not as dangerous as many make it out to be. In addition, it is not addictive -- at least not in a physical sense. If anything, it may cause a psychological dependency. Although this may be of concern, one must realize that these kind of -addictions- occur all the time and aren-t necessarily dangerous. I know several people who won-t miss a week of Grey-s Anatomy, or want to go golfing whenever they can... but this doesn-t mean they-re destroying their lives because of it. Your girlfriend might be in a similar situation. Marijuana use might be something that she enjoys, and she-s able to engage in it without causing a lot of harm to herself. If this is the case, you should question your motives as to why you want her to quit.

If it is effecting your relationship, I think that is a valid concern and you should let her know how you feel and why. If she still continues her use regardless, then that might be a sign that she-s not the one for you. On the other hand, if her marijuana use isn-t really effecting the way she interacts with you, just let her know that you-d prefer if she didn-t do it around you. You may find that this is the best solution, because any time you question someone else-s preferences and friends, you-re treading on dangerous territory.

I need advice on to stop smoking plz help?????? -

I need advice on to stop smoking plz help?????? -

idk if i can do it cold turkey anyone kna anything to stop and if it really works???????/Quit smoking cigarettes that you would routinely smoke.. like after meals, in the mornings, in the car, etc. If you eliminate the need to have a cigarette during times that are most significant to you, then you will have a much easier time.

Also, once you-ve weened down a little bit, just quit buying cigarettes. Also, announce to your friends publicly that you are quitting. They will help you, and you will reconsider having cigarettes around them because they will think you are weak.dont buy cigarettes and youll quit.

I need to stop smoking and the more I think about it the more I seem to be smoking. What approach did you take to stop and how are you feeling now?hi bobcatlady2u,,

yep been there done that.. first of all, my experience is that for many of us, it takes multiple attempts to quit... so if one strategy does not work for you... keep trying, whatever you do don-t quit quitting.. in the past i have used the pills.. the nicotine replacement methods (ie patches lozenges, inhalers etc), as well as stuff bought at health food stores.. while all that stuff works for some people it didn-t work for me..
i always ended up picking up again..

the good news is that i did find a way to quit..after smoking for more than 40 years, i have now been quit for over 5 years.. the secret is that i quit trying to do it alone.. i participate in a support group.. the support of other quitters, and the experience of those older members was just what i needed to quit for good

I attend Nicotine Anonymous meetings, both locally, and on line.. on line voice meetings are as close as your computer!!!


Nicotine Anonymous is a Non-Profit 12 Step Fellowship of men and women helping each other live nicotine-free lives. Nicotine Anonymous welcomes all those seeking freedom from nicotine addiction, including those using cessation programs and nicotine withdrawal aids. The primary purpose of Nicotine Anonymous is to help all those who would like to cease using tobacco and nicotine products in any form. The Fellowship offers group support and recovery using the 12 Steps as adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous to achieve abstinence from nicotine.I completely understand where you are coming from. I used to smoke heavily and each time I planned to quit I would definitely end up smoking like there-s no tomorrow.

Here-s what I did: Set a quit day (give yourself 1-2 weeks at least)
Have a completely planned first couple of days
Use the patch for at least 2 weeks
Be proud of yourself

Lots of people think that quitting cold turkey is the only way to go but I found the cravings way too much. The patch really helped take the edge off and get me out of the habit of smoking without the worst of the withdrawal symptoms.

Check out http://www.myquitsmokingdiary.com as well, people on that site are trying to blog about quitting as they do it...kinda funny to watch.I used to smoke pot also so I just got high every time I wanted a cigarette.

Maybe not the best way to stop but it worked. After about 4 months I didn-t even want a cigarette anymore. It-s been years and I feel great. No urges to go back to them ever. The smell of them grosses me out and the way others look when they smoke is so not attractive.I smoked for 15 years and quit 1 year ago. So far, it sucks and I imagine it will always somewhat suck. I finished a pack and haven-t smoked another cigarette since. I quit cold turkey. No gum, no patch, no gadgets, no meds. I figured, if yer gonna quit, you might as well QUIT. To me, all of that crap is just a cop-out used by people who either don-t totally want to quit or don-t think they can on their own.

I-m trying to quit, i-ve only been smoking for maybe 4 yrs. It-s not that bad, at the moment. A pack lasts me a few days sometimes. I-ve tried quitting cold turkey, but the longest that lasted was a few months. Tell me would this work.

Figure out how long one pack lasts me then with the new one try to make it last longer then that.

Slowly smoke less till 1 pack lasts a while

Then i-ll probably switch to lights, and make 1 pack last even longer

Then hopefully get to where I don-t smoke a whole one, then slowly get down to where I don-t need one at all.

So yeah slowly ease myself off of them. Would that work? or Do I need some that special gum and patches?Slow didn-t work for me .I smoked for 25 years and tried everything patch and all so what I did this may sound nuts but I got a 20 packs of smokes and a box of cigars smoked them for 2 days non stop one after another till I was green and sicker then a dog I think close to death . Its been 2 years now and I don-t even wont to smell A cigaretteit may very well work,try that first since your not smoking that much now,also stay away from things that make you smoke more for a while such as alcohol,coffee,drink lots of juice,eat things that keep your hands occuppied
goodluckIt-s hard to quit cold turkey. I have smoked for 19 yrs. I-m trying to quit because I have lung disease know. With the help of a D.R. you can do it. Just picture yourself carrying an oxygen tank around. When I visualize my self doing that it. It-s not something I would want to do. See a D.R. they can help you. Best of Luck.You can try the patches or the gum....I-ve heard the patches work well. When I quit, I-d been smoking for about 16 years, stopping only during pregnancies. I-d quit a couple of other times, but I always started back up.

The best advice I can give you is that when you-re truly ready to quit, you will. I wanted to quit and what did it was I was going on a cruise to celebrate my mother-s birthday. No one else going smoked but me and I hated the idea that I-d always have to leave the fun to have a cigarette (so-s not to bother anyone else). So I said I might as well quit now and decided to stop as soon as I finished that last pack...well driving home one evening, just as I was getting ready to light up (you know smoking while a driving was a must!), I looked at the pack and said- -Well if I-m going to quit after these last five, I might as well stop now!- and I crumbled them up and tossed them out. That was on 1998 and I haven-t smoked since. It definitely takes willpower and the right mindset but you can do it! I quit cold turkey, and the first couple of months was probably the hardest because I-d go to a neighborhood store and they would automatically pull out a pack of cigarettes for me. You have to just get it in your mind, that you are no longer going to smoke and just do it!

Good luck!I stopped smoking in six months after having smoked for more than 20 years.
It was easy and painless! and Now, I haven-t smoked in over a year!
you can do this method:
So, if you want to stop smoking, switch your brand down by .3 mg of nicotine every two weeks until you get to a Carlton King Size or a Now King Size. Let-s say you are smoking a Marlboro. Switch down every two weeks like this:


Marlboro-----------------------1.1 mg nicotine
Marlboro Light-----------------.8 mg nicotine
Merit Ultra Light---------------.5 mg nicotine
Carlton or Now 100-----------.2 mg nicotine
Carlton or Now Kings--------.1 mg nicotine

If you are smoking a Kool or a Newport, switch down every two weeks like this: (all mentions are menthol)

Kool or Newport------------------------1.2 mg nicotine
Newport Lights-------------------------.9 mg nicotine
Merit King Size-------------------------.6 mg nicotine
Carlton 100-s----------------------------.3 mg nicotine
Carlton King Size----------------------.1 mg nicotine


or buy Quest brand cigarettes at #1 until you-re smoking NO MORE THAN your usual amount then switch down to #2 until you-re smoking NO MORE THAN your usual amount and then finally to #3 again until you-re smoking NO MORE THAN your usual amount then you just... stop.

I used a combination of these methods I used the first method until i was smoking then .6 mlg cigs then switched to the Quest #1. three months after being on the quest programme I didn-t need to smoke. january first of 2006 was my first totally smoke free day since I was 14 years old. I-m STILL smoke free and I will be from now on.

Good luck to you!!I tried giving up using the gum and patches which worked for a while untill id go to the pub for a few pints and was smoking like a chimney again!
Get yourself a goal something to get in shape for you-ll have a reason to give up and feel better! I gave up a two pack a day habbit so you shouldnt have a problem!
Good luckYour method could work if you had the will power to stick to it.
The sooner you can quit the better.
Nothing worked permanently for me (30 years smoking) until I got a prescription for welbutrin (zyban) This is a pill that you take under direction and smoke as usual, by about a week, you get no pleasure from a cigarette, you might as well suck on a pencil.
So you stop smoking.Keep taking the pills for a total of 30 days and you probably will never have the craving again, no pysical craving, no mental craving.
Good luck, it-s well woth itbeleive it or not cold turkey did work for me and i was a 2 pack a day smoker.
what i did was pick a day that met something to me. in my case it was my birthday. it can be a holiday, aniversery, etc.
make a big deal out of it. tell everyone.
prepare yourself. maybe you can cut down a bit before the big day.
when the big day arrives do it. don-t smoke. have a celebration. every day gets easier.
once a year you get to celebrate success on your special day.
i called it my birthday gift to myselfI am in the process of quiting as well, but I am doing it cold turkey. I know that for myself, I have to stay away from the bar scene and limit my exposure to friends and family that smoke. I am planning on getting the last stage patch, just in case I have an erg because otherwise I will just start smoking again. You could also get the gum, I have a friend that uses the gum, but she says that after a while it hurt her mouth. Good Luck and Stay Strong.cut out the cigs you like the most one by one. i.e after meal, first in the morning etc.

dont smoke while you are out.

patches and gum does help but i used mints to help me
