How Do I Help My Boyfriend Stop Smoking and Be Supportive?
Question by Q: How do I help my boyfriend stop smoking and be supportive?
[rewrite]I don’t date smokers, but before we started, he promised he’d quit smoking for me… Stupid me, that was 6 months ago… He smokes a pack a day, but he rips the filters off the cigarette before he smokes them. I spent a lot of money on patches for him, which really reduced his smoking, but he couldnt even go a day without a cigarette even while wearing a patch. And now he’s back to smoking like he used to. He wants to quit, he even called a quit smoking hotline. He ‘tries’ quitting or at least cutting back pretty often, but nothing really improves. I was very supportive at first always telling him he’s doing a great job when he makes a minor improvement, …but after trying to help so much with no result, I’m starting to give up. It makes me scared because when I lay next to him, I hear his lungs making squeaky noises when he breathes. I know what it’s like to be addicted to something, but why is it so hard for him to NOT go to the store and buy cigarettes…

I’m in Ohio and I Need Help With Insurance and Healthcare/treatment?
Question by Datura: I’m in Ohio and I need help with insurance and healthcare/treatment?
[rewrite]I am 27 yrs old, jobless (disabled) homeless, no car, no license, and now no insurance. Oh yeah, I’m 21 weeks pregnant too. I have been on opiates for over 10 years and now have been trying to get off them for over 1 year, lng before I found out I was pregnant. The problem with being addicted to opiates and being disabled is despite the fact that I have come off of them, and I mean ALL of them, vicodin, percocet, oxy, roxy, etc. *I DO NOT use street drugs, have refused methadone and suboxin and I would rather go to rehab before I would stoop to using heroin or anything; the problem is that the dr’s will only put me back on these drugs or even worse, they won’t put me back on them when I need them. I need surgery on my spine, am trying to get medical assistance and now my prescriptions are due but they cost over $ 500 altogether. I am scared of withdrawing and being pregnant, the dr’s have been slowly weening me but it just isn’t good enough for me (I knew I would wind up in a shituation like this, have no help or support, my family doesn’t know or understand my struggle with these meds and being dependent on them). I need to find healthcare coverage like yesterday and I am also willing to do whatever it takes to further avoid any more problemds from living like this. Any advice helps. It’s butler county by the way.
