When my father quit smoking he’d put the money he want to spend on cigarettes and put it in a jar and bought a new stereo with the money. It worked really well, but he didn’t have all that much trouble stopping.

My mother was a different story. She would look for something to fight about, so she could become upset and use it as an excuse to fight, so I found a pet peevee of my mothers (in this case clutter in her living room) and made sure she noticed it was not exsistent in her life (I went around and cleaned up living room), so she would be happy about something.

Hope this helps you some.
