Guest Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 My GF smokes and drinks too much. I do drink myself, but not a huge amount - 3-4 beers when I go out, which is maybe once a week and then wine with dinner, stuff like that. She drinks 5-6 beers a night sometimes more. And probably smokes 20 a day. How do I get her to stop or at least slow down?
Tony T Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 There's nothing you can do. She's got to want to do it and as long as she's getting some enjoyment out of it her behavior will continue. I'm assuming you've asked her to reduce her alcohol and cigarette consumption and she's refused. People like this usually cut back when a doctor tells them they have three months to live. Don't look for any permanent change unless she has life threatening issues or agrees to major medical intervention. My advice to you is go find a lady who doesn't drink so much and who is a non-smoker. Your life with this lady could be a hell, particulary if she is an alcoholic...and it sounds like it.
ashnicole Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Tell her how you feel about it, but you can't push her to do something that she doesn't want to do. Was this something that she did at first when the two of you got together? If so, why are you just now deciding that you don't like it?
