My Aunt quit smoking cold turkey after her Dad died of Emphysema. It can be done, depends how motivated you are to quit and how you deal with the cravings.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Tips on quitting smoking.
- Thread starter Gamisch
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I smoked a pack and a half a day at least 16 years or more. I tried all the other ways and nothing worked. So I finally tried a prescription for Chantix and it somehow worked for me. Been cigarette free for over 2 years now. Now later on down the road I heard theres been some recalls on Chantix so maybe something to think about. At first I still had the habit a reaching for one, sometimes had some urges or missed it. But Im saving money, smell better, taste better, healthier. Dont have to get up or stop in the middle of a movie to have a smoke, lots of advantages!!
