Could you tell a way by which bad habits such as smoking,drinking,eating tobacco etc. can be prevented???

Question

How to prevent a husband from doing all these?
The method we 've tried is by talking which is useless.
These bad habits lie greatly in Indian villages,lesser in cities.They are great health hazards which should be prevented. While wife+son will be planning,crying,worrying,being in trouble&in urgent need of money;the husband will enjoy himself nicely at the bar,leaking out personal information&wasting money.He will pay heed to our words for some days&then start the old bad habbits.

The result:= Diverse by wife,wife becoming the saddest person.Husband:no memory,no sense,no peace of mind& at last death.
The idea of keeping smart camera with transmitter will work out I think.
Please sUGGest a way.This the greatest blocking stone of India.


Bad friendship should not be allowed to continue. :=}

Answer 1

Seriously - there is nothing like the power of prayer - turn to Jesus as He is the way, the truth and the life!!! There is nothing that Jesus cannot do so seek salvation and repent and lead a righteous life. Pray, pray and pray. God Bless You!!!

Answer 2

The person with the bad habit is the only one that can stop it. They can only do this by making up their mind to quit. Encouragement can help, but constant badgering will not. Let the person know what the consequences are even if they include divorce. Many that are addicted to these drugs, even though legal, need to go through the bottoming out process, in order to climb up. Good luck as all the habits you mentioned are extremely difficult to stop.

Answer 3

I think the best you can do in that situation is to teach children the common outcomes of this type of behavior. In the meantime, the best thing the woman can do for herself and the children is to leave. Tough love. There are shelters in America for these people, maybe in India too. These shelters can take care of women and their children (if any) until they get a place and a job, providing food and clothes and shelter. Unfortunately, the husband will not listen until he hits rock bottom and then it might be too late. If anything, you can do an intervention and the family can gather and convince him to go to rehap. good luck

It should also be of help to understand the reason/s behind the habits. Sometimes we unwittingly contribute to such a person's feelings of low self worth. We need to learn how to practice being supportive in positive --instead of negative-- ways*. That requires change on our part.

Answer 5

Unfortunately there is no way to stop someone from doing these things! Its a decision that they will have to make on their own. No amount of begging or pleading is going to make them stop if they're not willing or ready to break these bad habits. Pray for them.
