Friend trying to quit. - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

jinx230 · 02-02-2005, 05:57 PM

I have a friend who smoke everyday for 6 years. He's now on his longest streth of abstinence of 4 months. I know that is a huge accomplishement for him.

He has mentioned that he is planning to use in the future on a specific date. I know that if he uses again, he is probably gonna become a pothead again in no time. Is there anything I can do to attempt to talk him out of it? I know when I was smoking and I had my mind of smoking, no one could really do anything logical to talk me out of it.

If he's been abstinent for 4 months, why does he want to smoke again on a certain date? I think he needs to realize how great it feels to be clean, and go to a meeting instead on that date.
