Bad luck, Coney. I've been back on the weed on and off (i.e. on) since New Year and have been studiously avoiding this thread. Am currently steeling myself for another assault. If you can do it for 5mo+ then you can do it for ever.
Baby-K, the feeling of achievement after going out drinking and coming back having NOT smoked is tremendous. Give it a go. (It's either that or stay at home for the rest of your life drinking mineral water.) I think you should cut your bro some slack, SW. I understand that it's upsetting to think of people you love harming themselves, but you have to understand that these folks are addicted. No amount of rational argument will make someone give up. They might just end up avoiding you if you nip their heads all the time. If they decide to do it for themselves, that's the time to support them. If it's any consolation, my first wife smoked throughout her pregnancy and our son is in the 98th centile for size, so it isn't necessarily going to harm the bairn. cheers d. |

Anyway, anyone have any tips on how you can influence someone close to you to stop smoking? I mean short of taking a gun to their throat.

I've noticed how certain things really irritate me since I've quit smoking:
Like when someone points at my watch & asks the time........I know where my watch is (btw where's yours?) do I point at yer crotch when I ask where the toilet is? Or when someone is willing to get off his *rse to search the entire room for the remote, but is too lazy to walk to the tv to change the channel. Or when someone says: "it's always in the last place you looked". Of course it is, why the hell would you carry on looking after you've found the bloody thing? Do people do that? Who & where are they? Or when yer watching a movie & someone asks: "Did you see that?" - no *rsehole, I came to the cinema & paid 30 bucks to stare at the floor! Or if someone asks: "Can I ask you a question" - well that just illiminates the option of refusing since you've already asked one! Or advertising idiots who claims their products are "new & improved" - if it's new there hasn't been anything like it before & if it's improved it means that you've made an existing product better, so how the f*** could something be new & improved? When someone says "Life is short" - bullsh*t, it's long! Can you think of anything you'd be doing for longer? But the worst is when I'm sitting & waiting for the bus & someone asks if the bus has come yet..........if the bus had come would I still be sitting here waiting d*ckhead?

Ah....I don't think he wanted to be preached to. And being a Christian, I could go into detail about all that, but I'll leave it.

I have no intention of giving up my bad life, thank you very much. I just want to have one, that's all.
