The worst thing you can tell someone who has an addiction is to stop it! If that was so easy don't you think you would have figured it out on your own? Its not that simple! I used to smoke myself, I know how hard it can be.
Didn't know you had acid reflux, that sucks. Would you like some help to overcome that so you don't have to take the pills anymore?
Its really great that your cousin is improving! Its pretty awesome. She has the potential to inspire many people. Well Lymphoma from my understanding starts off in the lymph nodes but with cancer it can spread to anywhere, so it could be. However I don't remember much about Hodgkin or non-hodgkin lymphoma.
Thank you. Well I think it would be great to try it with the smoking but I'd suggest trying it with something a little smaller to begin with as you want to build confidence in the exercise to move onto higher levels. Its like a videogame, you start off at beginner and then you get better at it and better at it and you go onto the next level and the level after that. If you start off the game at level 20 it could get overwhelming, however with your progress in the program you might be able to handle it without getting discouraged and too overwhelmed.
Oh I really hope you don't regret asking me for some questions.
Well myself I've quit smoking because of this program and because I knew the purpose to quitting. When we quit we all figure out the how and the what but if we don't figure out the way and keep it in mind then we are doomed to fail. I have quit smoking about 4 or 5 years ago now and I had tried to quit smoking many many times and like you I felt like a looser whenever I went back. My purpose that kept me on track with my goal was I convinced myself that if I continued smoking while going through shiatsu school, I would fail because it drains me too much. 2nd, if I continued to smoke nobody would want to be treated by me and I'd fail to build a career. Those 2 were good enough to keep me from giving in to any craving even if I was drinking or under heavy stress. Even funerals of people I know didn't make me cave.
So the questions would be a perfect way to figure out your purpose. So without further adu here are the questions;
1)Why do you want to quit smoking?
2)What does smoking cost you in your health right now?
3)How is your breathing affected by your smoking?
4)How is your ability to exercise affected by your smoking?
5)If you continue to smoke would you potentially get to the point where you'd be put on an oxygen tank?
6)How would your life be like if you had to carry an oxygen tank around with you every where you go?
7)How would carrying an oxygen tank work with riding your horses?
8)Are you more likely to develop cancer or less likely because of smoking?
9)How would having cancer affect your life?
10)What would you have to give up if you got cancer to the point where you'd be bed ridden?
11)How would you pay for the treatment if you got cancer?
12)If smoking relieves stress then what does running out of cigarettes do for stress?
13)How much money do you spend a month on smoking?
14)How much money have you spend roughly a year on smoking?
15)How much money have you spend roughly on the addiction in your whole lifetime?
16)What things that you wanted could you have bought with that money?
17)Does smoking potentially lead to a brighter future or a darker and more miserable future and create negative long term effects? Why?
18)Does smoking potentially increase the quality of your relationships and enhance your feelings of love or does it decrease it? (This can include self-love as well)
19)Is smoking going to potentially help you achieve the goals you have in life or work against them? Why?
20)Does smoking help you become the person you want to be or does it work against it?
21)Will smoking potentially create more confidence, courageousness and determination or would not smoking do it?
22)Will smoking potentially lead to more cheerful feelings or will it lead to more fear?
23)Will smoking potentially increase your levels of happiness and enjoy fun tasks more? How about when it causes cancer?
24)Does/will smoking enhance your ability to contribute and produce better quality effort or would not smoking create better quality effort?
25)Does/will smoking create the potential for more success or would not smoking?
26)What would your life be like in 5 years if you continued smoking?
27)10 years what would your life be like?
28)20 years what would your life be like if you continued smoking?
29)Does smoking potentially age you faster or slower?
30)Have you ever gotten obsessive thoughts about smoking or when about to light up a smoke?
31)How does 2nd hand smoke affect people? Can it cause cancer to them as well?
32)440,000 annual deaths each year are smoking-associated

If thats not good enough here are some videos.
Crying child loses a parent
Guy in a hospital bed
Howard Singer...Teeth, Lower jaw and tongue removed
Mouth cancer
The effects of smoking on the body Its hard to read the writing but it says in one part that This year 50,000 innocent people, who don't smoke will die of secondhand smoke.
Could you imagine yourself as any of those people in the videos?
Also it can increase your chances of having a heartattack and dying since what it does it can scrape the lining of the arteries and leave a rough surface where blood can attach to and create a blodclot or thrombus which can block the arteries of bloodflow then the tissues in that area would not recieve blood and would die. This is a heart attack if its the tissues of the heart...but you can get this in the brain as well or really any part of the body. If its severe enough it can cause gangreen and amputations would be necessary.
Smoking and how it can lead to gangreen
If that does not help you enough, there are some pictures i'll be sending you through email...they are too disturbing for the website and if that doesn't work then you go visit someone who is in a hospital and has lung or mouth cancer.
Here is a written story
---------------------------------------------
Lets try more positive questions now;
1)What would your life be like if you weren't smoking and not controlled by cravings?
2)How would your life be like in 5 years if you had quit smoking today?
3)What about 10 years?
4)In 20 years?
5)Would not smoking help increase your mental and physical health? Why?
6)Would not smoking lead to a brighter future and create positive long term effects or lead to a darker future and create more negative long term effects?
7)Will quitting smoking increase your relationships and potentially enhance your feelings of love or decrease it?
8)Is not smoking more true to your nature and support the goals you have in life or work against them?
9)Would not smoking help you become the person you want to be or would it work against it?
10)Will quitting smoking create more confidence, courageousness and determination or will it take away from those feelings?
11)Will quitting smoking lead to more cheerful feelings (In the long run), or take away from them?
12)Will not smoking give you more energy or less energy?
13)Will not smoking potentially create more happiness and help you enjoy your tasks more or less? (Think about not having to worry about having smokes on you or running out of them)
14)Would not smoking potentially create more passion or less?

thank you 
The Drs failed to tell me that. It really does make you hungry and sleepy. I don't need that type of anti-depressant, and I think it causes me to have sort of a hangover if I take it too late.
