He wants to, but the patch hasn't worked and the gum didn't help. His addiction might be more mental than physical.

Have you considered hypnosis? A good hypnotist can usually determine why he smokes, what he could do instead to satisfy the craving or addiction, and find the underlying causative factors that led him to begin smoking in the first place, and then use guided imagery and positive health suggestion to help the smoker decide to take a healthier path

Perhaps the immoderate consuming and smoking have been his manner of dealing with the despair that he was once already feeling, and now the ones crutches were taken away, he has to manage the crisis immediately. Or it would be only a aspect of the complete withdrawal signs, mainly if he was once a heavy drinker and smoker. I recognize that after hubby gave up his 2 percent an afternoon dependancy, he was once like a endure with a sore head for particularly a even as, nevertheless it does get bigger. If he real was once/IS an alcoholic, then going bloodless turkey on his possess is probably not the great choice. If he sees a physician, they maybe in a position to deliver him quick time period cure to support him with the indicators, and deal with this tricky time. Also he'll ought to become a member of AA or any other help organization, or else his long run prospect of staying sober are slender. He demands to be taught the tactics and potential to quit himself whilst the cravings hit (and they'll), and the help of others who've been there, to get him by way of. If he's to get by way of this, he's going to wish your entire love and help. This is not the time to make this approximately you, and your demands. If it will get hard, and its going to, recall that he is doing this for his well being, and for the either one of you, and present him some thing encouragement and help you'll be able to. That's a aspect of loving thoroughly. Making the sacrifices in the course of the hard instances to get your companion by way of. Good good fortune.

Remind him of the side affects. show him pictures of cancer, especially those from second hand smoke and remind him that it is affecting you too. Since he loves you that will probably wake him up. Plus taking it slow will help, set up goals. And don't forget to be his cheerleader. And if you have kids, remind him that he wants to be in their lives and yours for as long as possible.
