October 21st, 2010
my grandpa’s been smoking for atleast 40 years. he quit a lot of times before, but kept going back because of the habit. he is a doctor and everyone keep pestering him about smoking, so he knows what it does to him.he looks ancient, but he’s only like 60 or something. how can we get him to stop?
he drinks too.

YOU CAN NOT. period end of story. learn this lesson NOW and dont suffer the rest of your life a codependent trying to get others to change.
all you can do is tell him that you are afraid of him dying because of his smoking and drinking and you know that it must be really really hard to stop and stay stopped.
Try hypnosis or acupuncture. If other methods have failed try an “alternative” treatment.
You really can’t make a person quit smoking.
They have to do it on their own.
Nagging people to quit just makes them defensive and less likely to quit.
you cannot force a person to change…they will resent you for trying and they will have to make the choice themselves
These are some helps
(1) Yoga, meditation, pilate
(2) Exercise – home or gym
(3) Acupuncture helps for addiction and cure try http://www.acupuncture.com

Affirmations and Self Hypnosis or Self Talk.
Good luck
Your grandpa is blessed to have so many people around who cares for him.
By your question I see that your grandpa is aware of the harm, which is a good sign.
See, If you smoke, your mind has been programmed by repetition.
This programming can be undone easily and effortlessly through the power of hypnosis.
