Michael's smoking again...

[doveserpent11]

...because of me. Granted, it's only a couple or few in the evening "after dinner." Whatever. I am influencing him negatively, and must quit soon. This sucks, primarily because I don't want to yet. I'm not seriously motivated, except for in the "moral" sense, and certainly am not inspired (which I have been at times before) to stop smoking.

Thanks G. I will say, though, that there are bad habits, and potentially highly consequential dangerous habits. Smoking and vacationing in Pakistan are among the latter. ;)

I'm not gonna give you a sermon but...

I hope you aren't smoking. :(
I hope M. can stop smoking.
Please.
I love you both.

I'm smoking less, and only outside, except when it's raining. Michael is smoking just a couple or few a day...but still. I love you too, Sis.

I used self-hypnosis to quit. That was 18 1/2 years ago, and believe or not I have not had a single craving in all that time, not a one!

That's great..was there a specific method that you used?

I was taught by a therapist named Stan Russell, who is the subject of this article. Back in 1990 he was working in Marin County.

Thank you for the tip. :)
