How do I explain to my GF who doesn’t smoke, how hard it is to quit smoking?
February 27th, 2011
i have been racking my brain how to give her an analogy. I am trying to quit smoking but i keep slipping up. I want to quit but I keep falling back. I am a 4.0 student in college and the stress of keeping that 4.0 is driving me to smoke. I want her to understand that its not just somthing you can just give up. Its chemical as well as phychological (spelling?). How do i tell her what it’s lke to try and wuit smoking so she can better understand. She has never touched a cigarette and I love that about her. I really plan on quitting here in the next two weeks when the semester is over. I don’t want to smoke. I am a nursing student and I know all the risks etc… (Don’t we all)
I need help to explain to her how hard it is to quit and what she can do to help me cause I don’t know.
She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I don’t want to lose her.
Please help me. I don’t need advise on how to quit. Just how to explain to her how hard it is to quit.
You people are just cruel. Who cares about how well I can spell or what my grade point average is. The point is I need advise.
I wish i could take away the points you earned for responding with such idiotic responses.
Like your parents should have taught you when you were little, ” If you don’t have something nice to say, Don’t say anything at all”
I am still looking for someone who is truley interested in helping me with this situation.

your weak minded…do u think your cool or something? your not, your lame..cigarets are for gays
You’re a 4.0 student and you can’t spell “psychological”? Wow. Anyone is allowed to go to college these days, I guess.
Good luck with the smoking. It’s hard to quit, as you know.
there really isnt anything…other than lets say her favorite food or drink…but unless they have smoked they have no idea..they think its like talking outloud instead of whispering and when you say stop you should be able too..they dont realize you are addicted and even when you stop you crave crave crave…
im a nurse and i also smoke my bf doesnt understand how hard it is to quit either,mine is more of a psychological addiction.but i told him it would be like giving up drinking milk only 10 times worse,because yes he loves milk but it doesnt contain nicodin nor is he have any psychological issues.and if he bugs me about it when i plan on quitting it just makes me say heck no im still smoking.ask her to give you time.its hard to quit ive trid so many times i cant even count(even without anyone telling me how much i should)ive smoked for 20 yrs ,i have asthma im anurse and know brtter but IT IS VERY HARD to quit regarless
God Bless you for such a valiant (spelling) effort!! I just recently quit, after 50 years of lighting up! I have found that taking antioxidents, to combat the free radicals, that are killing us, as well as they say smoking is, although this is not all true!! I am a associate of Youngevity, Dr. Joel Wallach founder. I encoureage you to check out the web site, http://www.youngevity.com and read/research, as you are a very bright person!! Smoking is more addictive then Meth, and harder to kick!! I do believe, the antioxidents was a great booster :shot ” for me!! I have not smoked for a month and 1/2, although I had to modify some of my habits, as you already know, trigger hang ups, coffee cig, after eating, cig, on the phone, cig, in my car, cig , being nervous, cig. Good luck, and God Bless as I know the reality of the addiction!! Your gal will unsterstand if she loves you, she will encourge you, not put you down, as smoking is, truly… a bitch!! as I said, over 50 years, and finally!!
The truth is it really isn’t that hard. I just recently quit smoking. I failed over and over again till I discovered a secret that the tobacco companies don’t want you to know. If you want to quit smoking you MUST read this:
