punishment?

[Tojo]

Well here's a view from the other side of the fence- I just received a lovely thank you from a friend who was the second person I've helped give up smoking this year.

I just asked her to give up, & also asked her to let me know if she started again.

The same worked for me with coffee- she said she's suffered enough herself & asked me to give that up.

I personally wouldn't use punishment- but then I don't believe in it anyway on the whole. In my experience the more you punish the less effective the punishment will be. When you really care for someone, if they say those dreaded words 'I'm disappointed in you' - that can hurt more than anything.

What a great idea! as I only really needed a counter side to the positive reinforcement that sounds like a plan to me, I am only worried it may be quite a crushing thing while trying to give up something so addictive and could possibly see several goes at such a demand.

will definitely pick up the suggestion from cariad that would be alovely addition.

Cheers
