If you're the dealer, place the card face-up to the side of the draw pile. That will be the starting card for the discard pile, and the player to the left of the dealer will play on it to start the game. One variation says the first player with a face-up 3 starts the game by playing a card from their hand. If no one has a 3, it moves to 4s. Another variation says the person to the left the dealer plays the lowest card in their hand. As an example, say the starting card is a 6. If you're the starting player, you play a card that is equal to or higher than the starting card. You can actually play multiple cards, as long as they're all equal to or higher and of the same rank. You can use any higher card, but it's smarter to play your lower cards first. For instance, if the starting card is the 6 of hearts, you can play a 6 of spades, a 7 of diamonds, or a king of clubs. You could also play 2 6s or 3 8s. The cards are ranked with the ace as the highest and the 3 as the lowest. The 2 is a special card that resets the deck. Once you've played, you still need 3 cards to make your hand. Pick up enough cards from the draw pile to equal 3. Don't draw a card if you have 3 cards or more, which can happen later in the game. So if you played 1 card, you pick up 2. In some variations, if you draw a card that's the same number as the last card you played on the pile, you can play it. This rule only applies if the next player hasn't added a card yet. You must play a card if you can. If you can't play, you have to pick up the discard pile. Then, the next person has their turn; they can play any card from their hand. After the first person plays, go around the table. Each person plays what they can in the middle, then draws up to 3. If they can't play, they pick up what's in the middle. Play continues this way until the draw pile is depleted. In most variations of this game, you can play the 2 on top of any card, and it resets the discard pile to this number. You can also play the 10 on any card, but it takes the discard pile out of the game instead of resetting it. The player who put the 10 down then draws up to 3 and plays any card. You can play any card after you play a 2 or 10. If 4 of the same numbers are played in a row, either by one player or multiple players, it clears the discard pile. Place it to the side, as these cards are out of the game. The player who played the last card can play any card, starting the discard pile again. In some variations, anyone can jump in to finish 4 of a kind. For instance, if the dealer plays 3 7s, someone across the table can play 1 7 to complete 4 of a kind, even if it's not their turn. It then becomes their turn, skipping the other players.

While it may be difficult to change your environment, understand that certain environmental cues can actually lead to higher rates of smoking. You may want to limit time around social groups that revolve around smoking. Instead, find new places and activities to enjoy. If you enjoy having a few drinks and smoking on the patio at a local bar, you might find it hard to sit on the patio and not smoke. In this case, try moving inside where smoking is not allowed. This will add a level of inconvenience to smoking since you'll have to leave the group you are with to go outside. Give yourself the rule: no smoking in the car. Smoke before or after the car ride. Make smoking as inconvenient and uncomfortable as possible. While this isn't an overwhelming change, changing brands may help you reduce your nicotine intake. For example, if you smoke Marlboro Red 100's, try switching to shorts or to a more "natural" brand of cigarettes like Sherman's. Do not let the word "natural" make you think these cigarettes are safe. They are most definitely cigarettes which still contain nicotine. Look for cigarettes based on their nicotine content, which are generally: low-nicotine: filtered cigarettes with the words "Ultra Light" medium nicotine: filtered cigarettes with the words "Light" or "Mild" high nicotine: filtered or unfiltered cigarettes that don't say "Light" or "Ultra Light" Another way to reduce cigarette smoking is by smoking a quarter or half of a cigarette. Then wait until your next cigarette break to smoke the second half or quarter. This way, you smoke as often as you normally do, but only half a cigarette at a time. You still get to take your smoking breaks, but it cuts your cigarette consumption in half. If you tend to chain smoke in certain settings like a bar or while sitting outside chatting with friends, try setting a timer. It can be easy to lose track and just light another cigarette when you are having a good time. After each cigarette, set a timer on your phone for a time limit of your choosing. Wait until the timer goes off before smoking another cigarette. As time goes on, try to increase the amount of time in between cigarettes. For example, if you set the timer for 20 minutes, push yourself to wait an extra 2 minutes. If you and your friend are both trying to cut down, you can make it into a small competitive game on who can wait longer. Sometimes it is the oral stimulation that needs to be satisfied in addition to the nicotine craving. Carry things like breath mints, gum, mouthwash sprays, small hard candy, sunflower seeds, or other small (ideally healthy) snacks for whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Avoid high sugar or fattening treats that will just fill you up. Make sure not to use treats as an oral substitute for the long-term.

The first step to take when teaching your dog how to crawl is to have him lie down. This will get him in position and ready to focus on the new trick he is learning. If your dog doesn't already know the lie down trick, consider teaching him this first before teaching him how to crawl. Have a treat ready to help your dog focus and to reward him with. Once your dog is lying down, take a few steps in front of him. Squat down and show your dog the treat. Keep the treat low to the ground and say "crawl." Your dog should start to crawl along the ground, trying to get the treat from you. Reward your dog immediately if he crawled correctly. Your dog may stand up and walk over to you. If this is the case, start over from the lying down position. You should only be a few steps away from your dog at first. Walking too far away may confuse your dog. Make sure your dog crawled correctly before rewarding him. Your dog will repeat whatever behavior you reward. Once your dog starts to understand what the "crawl" command means, you can start to increase the distance your dog crawls. Work gradually, taking a few steps more each time you train your dog. This will increase how far your dog can crawl as well as reinforce the trick overall. Always work slowly to increase the distance your dog is crawling. Practice around twice a day.
