I haven't smoked in about a month. The only problem is that my boyfriend smokes. I want him to stop but he just isn't motivated enough. He wants to stop too but he just doesn't know how. How can I help him?

First off stop buying it. Go out and do different things, like go to the movies. Its getting summer time now go swimming. Anything come up with new hobbies. Spend time together doing things you both enjoy doing with eachother other than smoking.

You will be suprised how much money you will have if you stop buying weed.

This is a very common question asked by people who are addicted to something but want to quit. They often cannot make out on how to start this process of quitting. Well, try to play the role of a motivator to your boyfriend first, since you yourself have not been smoking for the last one month…right? Try to make him feel that it’s not that hard to quit these habits, only if, one is determined. If still he feels it to be hard, then take him to the aa meetings or some rehab programs. If you don’t have much clear idea about these rehab programs, then, just let me know. I think; i’ll be able to help you in this regard.
