Answer #1

im not sure if this helps with the whole smoking and drinking things… but my mother always told me to tap on a table when I wanted to chew my finger nails (that was my nervous habit) a few weeks later I was pretty much cured… Maybe if you do the same thing every time you get the urge to drink or smoke…

also if you want to quit smoking and drinking you have to stay away from people who do those kinds of things.. it will just make you have temptations.

I hope what I suggested helps =]

Answer #2

You need something that will drive you. I am constantly trying to get myself to exercise more and am always near to giving up, but one thing really helps me is thinking about the benefits I will get from it. Also try not to stop everything at once, cut down slowly. If you deprive yourself of everything you want then you will go insane. One thing that I don’t recommend but works is becoming addicted to something else. No it does nto always work and yes it can make things a lot worse but it will take your mind of drinking and smoking. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing, just something that is effective enough.

Answer #3

Imagine.. physically imagine what it is doing to your body. Especially as you are so young.. Look at this link. http://www.uh.edu/engines/lungs.jpg Now that’s an extreme case but if you carry on smoking then that’s what’s going to happen. As for drinking.. think of all the accidents that could happen whilst drinking, think of all the embarassments. It’s good to know that you want to give up these things. For a start you’re going to have to try and not hang out with these people who smoke and drink. They will only encourage you more. 2008 is a good time to start. Good luck

wow! thats a young age 2 begin smoking and drinking. well if you want 2 stop smoking why dont you throw away all the cigarettes and dont hang out wit people who smoke. and with the drinking problem who might as well throw out all the boottles of beer you have. that way you wont be tempted to smoke or drink. and who made you start drinking and smoking you have 2 stay away from them. and if your parents smoke or drink then try 2 stay away from them when they’re smoking or drinking. I REALLY HOPE THIS ADVICE HELPS U! REPLY BAK IF IT DOES! =]
