bad habits
Do you have any bad habits?
Yes. I smoke.
I used to smoke too.
I really want to quit but I can’t.
Have you tried chewing gum?
Yes. I have tried gum and it didn’t work for me.
Have you tried nicotine patches?
Yes. Those were better than the gum but still didn’t work.
I used a quit smoking program.
Really what did you do?
I did a lot of different things.
Like what?
I drank grapefruit juice and brushed my teeth.
That would make a cigarette taste horrible.
That’s why I did it.
What else did you do?
I made sure I ate a good breakfast and didn’t drink coffee.
Why didn’t you drink coffee?
Because I always smoked after I drank coffee so I decided to stop. I still don’t drink it actually.
Wow. What else?
I had my friend hide my cigarettes.
That would be hard. I really want to quit but I don’t think I can do it alone.
If you want I can help you quit.
I would appreciate that.
It will take a lot of will power but with help, you can do it.
This time, I am determined.
