    My GF is changing me a lot.. she made me quit drinking, yeah no alcohol for past 1 month and she is making me quit smoking too, didnt smoke for past 2 weeks... Its good for me and her. They say quiting smoking would make me gain weight, is it true. Can any one suggest me with something to do when i feel like smoking.

      Exercise is effective for a lot of people. Take a walk, do some pushups or crunches, squeeze one of those spring thingies they make for tightening your grip. Kick the cat. Clean something around the house. Wash the car. Dance.:-D Good luck!:) "My kid was Inmate of the Month at Adobe Mountain Juvenile Corrections Center" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City

                      Hi, I quit just over 6 months ago and have not had a smoke since. There is no single technique* to help other than your committment. Until you are completely committed to doing it it won't happen. *Drinking lot's of water, getting lot's of excercise does help though.

                        I think you need to see a doctor, Mr. Prakash. You’ve got GFTMLJ syndrome (Girl-Friend-Treat-Me-Like-Jelly) ;P Just kidding. Quitting smoking was cool of you. I do smoke myself, but only occasionally and I don’t take the tobacco smoke as deep into my lungs as regular smokers do, so chances of Cancer are reduced compared to regular smokers. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out why you quit drinking, unless you were a thorough alcoholic. Casual drinking is not a risk to health and I believe I’ve read versions that state that it’s actually good for health and reduces chances of heart failure.

                          Good going! Takes a lot of effort for sure! My sister used Lemon Drops. I know when I quit smoking back at August 22,1989 I put on 75 lbs before I figured out what was going on. There were problem times but the worse had to be the after meal smoke. It seemed like the meal was never over :) The Lemon Drops (candy) can really help if you put some in your pocket and use them when you feel the urge to smoke.

What year is it? I thought that was common knowledge by now. :-D Also find out what "lots of water" means exactly. Some people find it very surprising how much they should be drinking. Even if you end up starting back smoking keep up the water and exercise.

                                        Muscle doesn't consume anything, unless you use it. Fat cells (adipose tissue) store calories that you consume but don't use, but those calories are available to provide the energy required to construct new muscle tissue from proteins that you consume.

                                          My GF is changing me a lot.. she made me quit drinking, yeah no alcohol for past 1 month and she is making me quit smoking too, didnt smoke for past 2 weeks... Its good for me and her. They say quiting smoking would make me gain weight, is it true. Can any one suggest me with something to do when i feel like smoking.

                                          So long as you are doing it for the right reasons... And, since you have a girlfriend, you have the best possible alternative thing to do everytime you feel the urge to smoke. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."
