When I have problems, in my head I think back to what Allen Carr said, (paraphrasing) 'ok you've got a problem, fix it if you can, if you can't, move on.  If you've got a problem and you smoke, well, now you have 2 problems.' 

 

If you start smoking again over a problem it will never, ever, solve it.  It will only add a HUGE problem to the one you already have.  And then all the problems that come with being a smoker come back, and my gosh, now you really have problems.

 

Stress rules so many people's lives, and it is indeed something to be dealt with, but smoking makes everything even worse.

Gabby, I see you say that you want 'a smoke so bad'

 

Well, there is no such thing as 'a smoke'... There is one smoke, followed by a second smoke, then a third, a pack, a carton, and EVERYTHING bad that comes with it... You get the idea. The only thing smoking a cigarette will do is make you want to smoke ANOTHER cigarette! It will not make you feel better in the slightest! I know that you already know this, but it's good to get a reminder sometimes :)

 

Please can you tell us what is wrong Gabby? Maybe sharing will help?

 

Come on Gabby, you can do it!

He gives him everything in the way of what money can buy and then says horrible degrading things, I've asked him to cut him off, but he says dad's been so good to me.  He is starting to take panic attacks when his father rings.  He is right in the middle of his exams and his father does the same thing every year. If he's angry at me he starts on him, because he can't affect me anymore.

Ah Gabby, you can't fix the world my love, nor can you stop a child (no matter how old) looking after an ungrateful parent (trust me, I am experienced!!!).  Bob will cope just fine and he won't appreciate being the reason you threw yourself off the proverbial cliff, DON't DO IT!!

 

It's what, 11am there. Go and walk this shit off Gabby. You have an example to set if nothing else. More then that, I adore you and your quit. I know how hard you fought for this, I helped in the early days and smoking is just so pants mate. No matter our addiction side, we know it just sucks to be "that" smoker and we are setting an example etc.

 

Hold on baby girl!! x

Oh Gabby... You poor thing. But you know that smoking will not make any of that better!

Gabby,

Im sorry I've only just seen this...

Smoking won't change anything sweetheart....it won't suddenly make that guy a different person....

If you smoke he's won....he's ruled your life.....

You have a wonderful quit....you know you would be angry with yourself....

It's took me a long time to understand...smoking won't make things better ...only worse...

Stay strong...

Keep posting .....

Hugs xxx

Ata girl gabby, your father in law sounds a real duche bag, the way is for your hubby to do well in his exams and for you to quit, the pair of you will have so much pride and confidence some people even parents are afraid of change and can get jealous. It not how it's supposed to be but it is what it is, my mum puts me down at every opportunity, took me years to figure it out.

 

A such a is a duche but you are a beautiful non smoker, with guts, take deep breaths find your gusto and say to yourself right I got this! You mf :)

 

Xx

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
