An incentive

View More Posts Ignore
So my boyfriend gave me an incentive last night to quit smoking. So I think I may be ready. I know this is the guy I'm going to marry, but I haven't received a ring yet, or the question. I keep asking him, because I wan't to know, im very much in love. So he told me that if I quit, that I can expect a ring sooner. So basically I quit smoking, I get a diamond ring!! What do you'll think about that?

" People quit for health reasons, not material things. IMO it is a hoot! You do whatever, it is your life. "

" well, that would be a mighty big reward, but make sure you arent doing it for someone else...do it for yourself. educate yourself on your addiction and the recovery process so you will be less likely to have a relapse...(id hate to see him take that ring BACK if you slip):)

" You will never quit because he wants you to, even for a diamond. If you want an insnitive to quit, come over to the emphysema COPD pages and read about our struggles because we cant breathe. You have to quit for your health and because you want to. I wish you the very best in your decision, it is possibly the biggest commitment you will ever make. To Quit smoking, not saying yes to marrage. OldBoyScout. "

" well i have to agree with clares mom. if you want to quit for you and your boyfriend is giving you an incentive, then the best of luck to you.

one of the things i have discovered and this is my third attempt, is that my mind set was i'm doing this for my family, my son etc. it is the reason i have failed. You must want to do it for YOU first. What are your reasons for wanting to quit for you?????? Sure, health reasons are a big factor.There is no doubt that you will have health issues if you continue to smoke.... but the mindset is also another big factor..... You must decide that you don't want to do it and resolve to do whatever you have to do to make that happen.

do it for YOU dear . I wish you the best of luck and i hope to see you on here. "

" I agree with sambod, it has to be for you first. Consider the ring a reward for doing something great for yourself. "

" You have undervalued yourself.
Stand proud and tell your guy that you love him, but that you are doing this for you, not his promise of a ring....hugs ozzie "
