how much do you make at poker? Schedule bi weekly massage sessions for her at a local spa. Or buy her one of thoes iJoy massage chairs, they cost about 600$. This stuff wont help though if she isnt ready to quit. I thought the same as her. "man Im stressed with this downswing, Im on break from this tournament I need to go have a smoke." I would go have a cigarette, I would feel better as I smoked, relaxed ect. But 2 minutes after I got back to my desk I was stressed and anxious. Yes smoking can make you feel better right away, but the second you arent smoking, youre gonna feel stressed out.

Now that Ive stopped smoking I feel so fresh. I feel so relieved. I dont play tourneys anymore, but now when I take breaks from cash games, or whatever, I grab a magazine and lay on my bed. Sometimes Ill even venture outside (this is rare) and get some fresh air. Sometimes Ill just sit and think. Ill think about my goals and aspirations, Ill think about my near future and my distant future. When I would smoke it was often just something to do while I think. It was a reason for me to go outside and sit on my porch and enjoy the fresh air (how ironic.) Now I have realised that I dont need to give my self an excuse to just sit and not do anything. I can have downtime now and not have to poison myself while I do it.

Im sorry if this has been a bit of an incoherant rant, the simple point Im trying to make is that to quit you have to want to quit, and to want to quit you have to be completely honest with yourself and let yourself honestly see the reasons you smoke. If you are honest with yourself the reasons to smoke are out weighed by far by the reasons not to.
