If it's okay to

ask

for advice in this thread, I need some serious help. You guys may have read in the X8 Off-Topic thread, that a close friend of mine just passed away. I have recently learned that he was a smoker. This took my fear to a whole new level.

My dad chain-smokes sometimes. He has been smoking for almost 25 years. I have tried telling him to stop. He won't listen. I'm gonna tell him today too, but I am sure he'll light up that filthy roll of paper once the conversation's over. I really want him to stop smoking altogether. I don't wanna lose another friend. Please help me. :crying:
[XPERIA X8 General] dagger:
Just slip the cigrett pack from his pocket and throw it away..

Even if you get scolded dont stop..
[XPERIA X8 General] nazz.rule:
Tell him you love him so much that you don't want to lose him or seeing him sick because of smoking. Talk to your mom to persuade your dad to stop smoking.
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
He has a store of them. I'll talk to him today. He should learn from the mistake of a teenager. I tried throwing three packs away too. Didn't stop him.
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
the thing with smokers is they won't stop unless they truly want to. evem then, it's difficult. i smoke, and i've tried to quit a number of times already. what i can suggest is that you just talk to him. let him know that you, as his son, is really concerned.
[XPERIA X8 General] CnC-ROCK:
brother my dad smoked too.. i even have some breathing problems since birth even that did not make him quit smoking. he comes from a very rural place and started working in a shop at age of 13, 850 km from his birth place although he had parents. they sent him to work. he started from 0 and bought 2 shops talking loans and he cleared all the loan 4 years back and yet paid for good education for me and my brother. he has been smoking since 13. his parents dont even know his birth date so i decided it as 1st of april. he smoked for 28 years, 5 months although he quit it 2 months ago. his starts having breathing problem if he stops medication and currently has to take medicines everyday. yet it is not that i hate him because i understand under what circumstances he grew up. i will always be there for him
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
Thanks cas. I would like to advise everyone

against

smoking. The stuff it results in, is absolutely horrible. Please, don't do drugs or smoke.

my grandfather smoked a lot for more than 7 years but then had asthama problem. Doc said to leave smoking or else it will increase problems. He had good will power and left smoking in last years of his life.

Its better to leave it earlier but its not that easy and fast
[XPERIA X8 General] a.cid:
I wasn't gonna come, but...

Ahhh, I feel you, anonymous user across the virtual sea...

My dad's a chain smoker too...

A heavy one...around 20 cigs a day...

And he smoked irrespective of his surroundings...

In the car while driving, at home before going to sleep (near the window, thank god), at the office...

Pretty much everywhere...

And here's something I did around 2 years back...

My mom was in on this beforehand...

I strategically placed "clues" that I too had started smoking...

Burnt matchstick here, cigg butts near the window, escaping his eye whenever he tried making eye contact, fumbling with simple answers to stuff he asks...

And then finally came his confrontation...

He held a cigg butt, and slapped me hard...and asked "Why?"

I said, "You do it too, why stop me?" and stormed away...

He did feel bad about it, as mom told him that I never actually started and this was done for some purpose...

After that, I wouldn't say he quit immediately...but he did took steps to control it...

Now he tries his best not to smoke in public places...

And his daily average has fallen from 20something to around 5...

Too hard to quit instantly, but hey, he's trying...

I don't feel bad about that slap...

It did serve its purpose :)

Not telling you do the same, but try and make him realize that you care...

Children are the one thing that parents can do anything for...
[XPERIA X8 General] a.cid:
The slap was on my cheek, the pain was across his ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
first of all, welcome back.

2nd, that took guts (what you did). so kudos to you.

bottomline is if any non-smoker wants to try smoking out and join us smokers, DON'T. one of the biggest mistakes i've made.
[XPERIA X8 General] THeLogiC:

me too sworn on myself. A big NOOOOOO to these things
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
well... alcohol is fine. as long as you take it in moderation. nicotene and drugs are a different story. as for mary jane, i honestly am a bit confused about it.
[XPERIA X8 General] THeLogiC:
idk why but I dont like the smell of alcohol. :p

I can't stand it
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
yeah. that's true. but i know a lot of people who drink but don't get addicted. i guess it depends on the person too..
[XPERIA X8 General] jumbobombo:
There was a time when I used to smoke like mad

It was during HSC and CET a very very important exam in India.. You score in this you are sorted for life ... 18 years old. Used to smoke atleast 4-5 per day.

Too much work too much frustration. But I had some rules to smoking :

1.i will never buy a cigarette packet. I shall only buy singles smokes.

2. I will never smoke alone.

3. After all this is over I'll stop.

And yes after the exams I stopped and trust me it was not easy. If a smoker wants to quit smoking it is he who'll have to work for it nobody else can.

Talk to him make him realize.. Life is too short to smoke :o

Hope this helps :)

I will start on gym next year also, hopefully. I'm too skinny. I don't have the objective of getting big, but get a little stronger and define the chest.

Anyway, my confession for now is that I have my last test tomorrow, hopefully, for this year. After it, just two more days of classes (to get my grades only) and I'm on vacation). That means a lot of writing for my (and some friends)'S blog.l (teendroid.com, please access it :D )

[XPERIA X8 General] dagger:
@meow

Thats a problem with me too.

But if you seriously want to control it then ask your parents to set a password in your PC...:p

It works for me..
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
No way, bro. I am not letting my parents lock my PC. It's one of the most important things to me, next to my loved ones and studies of course.
[XPERIA X8 General] Cancar96:
My brother locked my computer one and then i learned how to bypass password and change it ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] dj_mol3y_x8:
That would not work for me I have hirens 10.1 on disc so I would just remove the password.

And I smoke but I wish I never started first thing I do every day is light up and the last thing every day is light up . So to all you teenagers DONT START TO SMOKE

I'm 31 and because smoking I feel like I'm 41

all the best

[XPERIA X8 General] Splux:
This was posted in another thread first, but I just wanted to post it here too. You guys usually have good feedback, so I thougt it was a good thing posting it here too.

@ all of you

This is totally irrelevant to anything, but for about 4-5 years ago (I'm drunk, don't really know the exact years but the rest is just me being to afraid of actually telling anyone) we moved away about 15km... which was enough for me to lose contact with basically everyone I knew,

At first I just though my dad was moving, but afterwards it turned out my mom was also moving to the same place = I wasn't allowed to go the same school anymore due to some stupid rules. So, at first I was actually okay with all this. But when I was told that my mom also was moving (just as a note, it is possible that it was the other way around... I have actually made this memory disappear, I don't remember - and I can't remember... so if the rest of the story doesn't make any sense, this would be enough to make you understand how bad it really affected me) I sort of disconnected from the world. I became the one I am today.

From this time, I started to get more and more disconnected from the world (more or less) and now when I'm drunk, I think back to how it was - I remember stuff I've depressed into my subconsious (if such thing actually exist).. I've realized, several times (also when sober), that I really can't feel any real feelings. Last thing I really felt was when my brother tried to kill himself, such emptyness I have never felt in my entire life. I can't even describe it, it was terrible.

Until that date, I've basically never felt any real feelings - just, more or less, faked feelings that I fool myself into having only to fit into the rest of my social "hub" (can't find a good word to replace with :/ ).

Now that I think of it, it is really awful. Such a small thing, moving 15km (+/- a few km) has changed everything. I'm trying to get in touch with those i once knew, I'm trying to make it all right... but it just won't feel right anyway.

Right now I'm studying programming at school, and programming seems to be the only way for me to really disconnect from the world. It makes me think in another way.

It makes me disconnect from who I am.
[XPERIA X8 General] Felimenta97:
I confess I feel proud of my 713 thanks here. I had around 350 in June, so I got a lot since then.

My story isn't the same, but I fear that could happen to me. I'd fall apart if I lost contact with someone important.

But, on another hand, it is good some times, even that for a few days, to forget everyone and everything. I listen to music. When I enter that world, I can think freely. Helps making my heed more organized.
[XPERIA X8 General] Splux:
I lost contact to everyone that meant anything for me, I was just too young to realize that losing contact with my friends and trying to get new ones would be devastating.

One of few things I truly regret. I should've said that I was not okay with moving... well, done is done and now people almost have to kill themselves if they want me to realize that they even mean something for me.

(small edit, it's not what I wanted... it just happened anyway)

You should be extremely proud of yourself. Overcoming things like you went through as a child isn't easy. Yes, you drank heavily, turned to crime, etc.... But the only thing that matters is who you are today. Learning from mistakes or misfortunes in life isn't something most people do well. We can do one of two things.... Sulk and give up on ourselves or pick ourselves up and prove to all those around us and most importantly ourselves that we are better than the things that have molded us. Sometimes in life we loose people and things that we care about, but if they are worth fighting for, then fight for them. Never give up on something that you are passionate about. Continue doing what you do and never let those bad things you did define you.... That is not who you are.... And be proud of the fact that you were able to turn your life around. You are a very intelligent person and I have no doubt that you will do great things. :)

[XPERIA X8 General] KidCarter93:
Thank you for all the words guys and werked :p

I just want to make something especially clear for those who don't want to post theirs because of how mine was.

I don't want anyone to think that their confessions aren't as important or as good as anyone else's. That's truly not the case.

We're all as important as each other and that won't change.

As I said in my confession, I don't see what happened as a bad thing. It's all positive because it's made me who I am today and I wouldn't change that for anything. I've honestly had a good life. I've lived in perfect health, with family and friends and I have a good paid job and my own house so I'm extremely happy and lucky compared to all the people in the world who live surrounded by death, illness and poverty.

So please, don't see my confession as a bad thing. See it as a positive and remember one thing.

"In this life, we're all as important as each other no matter what our backgrounds are."

Thing is, it's not as if I'm always positive. A lot of the time I still feel really sad about things which have past but I just don't let others see that side to me.

Hiding how I truly feel is something I feel I've had to do for years, so it's pretty natural nowadays.

I confess that I had a really crappy day yesterday :what:

I had some of the family come around mine for dinner and an argument started between the family over something pathetic so I had to tell them to stop or GTFO. Then once all that had calmed down, my niece and nephew were screaming and shouting the place down, which is kinda expected considering they're only 3 years old, but it was much more than how they would normally act.

Then to top it all off, when I was putting my Christmas tree up, I tripped over the wires on the tree lights and fell straight into my TV which then cracked cause it knocked to the floor. Pretty pissed off at that considering it was a nice 51" TV which I only got a couple of months ago. So I've had to send it off for repair and got some crappy 30" TV instead and I probably won't even get my TV back until the new year :@

Also, I haven't slept in about 3 days and it's now 4.21am and I have to be out of the house at 8.30 to get into work for 9.30 and I really can't be bothered but know I have to otherwise I risk losing my job.
