Question by CLBC1412: Addictions?
I come from a family of smokers and alcoholics. I myself never plan on becoming one, I’ve already lost a grandmother from lung cancer. I know the effects of smoking and alcohol and how addicting it is, not to mention how stubborn my family is. I want to try and get some of them to quit, but they’re all stubborn. Seeing how the majority of them have been smoking and drinking over 15 years, i need a way to get throgh to them, or else im worried i will lose more and more relatives from disease. I come from a very big and close family and id like to keep it that way.

people do not do things that they do not want or are not ready to do. Like a diet, people will know that they need to diet because of diabetes but they just will not stop eating things with sugar. Same for smoking, they would not give it up, even when someone in the close family die from smoking

I guess some people just don’t admit they need help. Just like my dad. He died of lung cancer when I was 11. My mother has quit drinking for 4 years now. It will only take the loss of someone close from cancer for people to really stop. Some people will never stop. You just got to appreciate things the way they are sometimes. Especially when it comes to family because when people don’t want to change they won’t.
