How do i get my girlfriend to believe me that i will stop smoking? (pt 2)? -

hello, my girlfriend hates cig. smoking and i-m not heavy smoker but i have smoked a couple times in my life. anyway, i told her i wanted to smoke, we got in a big fight which ended in her buying cigs for everytime i had an urge. SO, i smoked one and she got pissed off so i said why the f do u have them in the first place? no answer. instead of lying to her about smoking the cig, i told her the truth cos i was guilty KNOWING she would get pissed but i couldnt help myself.
anyway, so now i-ve told her i would never smoke again and she wont believe me. given the fact that this is the 2nd time i-ve smoked (in a year) and told her i would stop...please dont tell me -once a liar, always a liar-
i really feel like i dont need cigs in my life i just am not thinking clearly when i act on those impulses...and now i want to be true to her but it seems like i-ve cried wolf too many times.... :-(OK, you like smoking...

She doesn-t...

And she doesn-t like you enough that she would put up with your smoking?

See, this is why so many relationships end badly.

You-re a smoker. She needs to get over this, or maybe she-s not right for you. If you give into her for this, you-ll be whipped for the rest of your miserable lives. Grow a spine and tell her to deal with it or leave. You-ll never be happy together.

Wimp.The only way to prove this to her is to not do it. Things like this take time. She has to learn to trust you, and the only way she will trust you is if she never sees you smoke. Just don-t do it. Once she sees that you aren-t smoking then she will believe you.Give her a calender for 2009, and tell her to consider it your new years resolution and be smoke free day by day, also a romantic commitment to love her each smoke free day.Sounds like she could use a cigarette.Hi, I want you to stop for a sec and ask yourself, why am I wanting to quit smoking? If it is for your girlfriend you have a very tall hill to climb. Your girlfriend will believe what you show her, when you stop smoking she will watch you and in time as you live smoke free she will see... You task is not to convince her or others for that matter it is for you to take control of your life by quitting smoking. I was a heavy smoker for 30 years and had tried to quit many times for others with no success. I am now a non smoker and it took only a total of 7 weeks. You and only you can be your motivation to quit, you can do it for a lot of reasons but they have to be your reasons and truly from your heart not anyone else. You got smoking into your life you need to get it out of your life. That way you will not feel resentment towards anyone when or if you have a few hard cravings ( I never did ). If you want to quit so you can have her then quit, but do it so you can go to her as a health man that will not be smoking around her which could make her sick and you don-t want that right. After a lot of soul searching if you decide you are wanting to quit for you, your health, to take back your power and remove the control smoking has over you and any relationship you might have then take Chantix if your doctor says you can. IT WORKS!! There are a few side effects but nothing I couldn-t handle for a few weeks. After dealing with smoking for 30 years I figured some bad dreams and a little nausea ( which never made me get sick ) was a very small price to pay. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself, now after just 7 weeks of Chantix I have been smoke free since Sept. 9th, 2008. I have had NO cravings and I feel great. I also love having all the extra money.
I wish you luck, you can do it.....I know you can with Chantix ...
