So I’ve decided to try once again to quit smoking. Some of you other there might think that this is easy, and that it shouldn’t be a problem. Well, I’m here to say that isn’t true. This is the third time I’ve tried to quit now in a little over two years. Each time, I last for a few months and then I’m right back outside smoking again. To be honest, I’m not even sure why.
I know that smoking is bad for me. I know that smoking kills. I know that smoking causes cancer. I could go on and on but I’ll stop there, I think you get the idea. Despite knowing all of these things, I continue to smoke. Why, you ask? I don’t know. There is a huge part of me that wants to quit for so many reasons. I can’t afford it, it’s bad for my health, and I hate having to go outside in the winter to smoke.
As of this Monday I’m a non-smoker. I haven’t picked up a single cigarette, although the desire to smoke is nearly killing me. I’ve been short tempered, grumpy, very easily irritated, and I’ve had next to no patience with anything or anyone. I actually found myself yelling at my cat for meowing too loudly yesterday morning while I was feeding her. I know it is going to be tough, and it’s a big adjustment to make, but I really wish it were easier! I hate being mean to people or animals but it seems like I’m just an inch away from falling off the edge of sanity at any given moment right now. Can someone please tell me that this gets easier?
I have to admit i hate smoking but my boyfriend is a smoker. Boy, do you know how much that bothers me. I have to accept the fact that he is smoker. Many time, i have tried to persuade him to quit but he explained to me the reasons why he can't. I know he cares for me but it hurts me when he doesn't listen. I don't want him to die, I want him to live and be with me forever. That's why i'm working on a mission : "helping my boyfriend get back his conscience".... I hope it will work. I'm totally supporting the idea of quitting smoke. with a little more determination i think it will work out for you. Don't give up, don;t think about it. Use patch or medicine to help you. Or when you think about it, take a cold showers, sometimes that will help or chew gum... Just think about your future, the cost. It's better to be a non smoker. If every smoker decided to quit then well have more "fresh"air
this broad that commented is saying because i cant quit smoking is because i dont have a conscience? I mean if you lvoe him so much why cant you cope with his smoking instead of bickering that he wont quit and obviously he doesnt care? i will never understand that....you claim you love him but wonder if he feels the same because he wont give up something....hmm a little hypocritic i would say...but good luck on the quittign smoking sunshine you are a better person than i
Maybe she loves him enough to not want to see him die. More importantly, maybe she loves herself enough to only accept what she deseves- clean air.

I don't think that he doesn't care, he just doesn't understand the affect of being a smoker. Have you ever questioned why people smoked? They can give you thousands of answers and they could be extremely absurd. However, i understand you point, if he really loves me he should listen to me, but i don't think we have reached to the point where we can't live without each other yet. If i really can't stand his smoking habit, i can break up but i feel like i can help him to understand the fact that smoking is a "must quit".
Thats great that you are trying to overcome this..It is very easy to judge and say well wth did you start..but it happens..I am glad you are trying to quit and wish you the best of luck in this difficult challenge!! GOOD LUCK!
I also wanted to wish you good luck! My sister has tried to quit smoking a few times. My dad and uncle even offered her $200 if she could quit, but it just didn't work. She had quit for most of the summer, but started back up again a couple months ago. I know she's not the kind of person to give up, so I definitely believe that it's tougher than non-smokers think. So, again--good luck!
