I’m forgetting how God healed me before. I’m upset right now because my body feels unwell and angry. But God healed me before and He will again. Amen

I smoked for 3 years in the 60s and quit cold turkey because it my asthma was harming my baby while I was pregnant.  They tell me that is why my asthma is so bad today.  However I also spent 10 years on school busses that had holes in the floor where the drivers chair had been moved.  We had C02 coming into the bus and diesel fumes all the time.  That also had an impact, I am sure.

I smoke cigerettes. My dad bought me patches to quit. I’m 51. My dear dad is 84. I feel addiction is a sin. But  it’s hard. I put the patch on 

hey Kristin,

here is the secret to breakthrough with besetting sins.

 

This weakness is not to be confused with rebellion. You will be overcome by the Lord grace as as you continue to walk with him in obedience and faith.

 This is the great apostle's Paul testimony

For what I will to do, that I do not practice

But what I hate, that I do

 

For the good that I will to do, I do not

But the evil I will not to do, that I practice

 

O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death? (Romans 7:15, 19, 24)

 

There is the law of sin and death that is at war with the Spirit: the flesh lust against the spirit and the spirit lust against the flesh, these two are contrary to one another. But as we continue to feed the spirit and starve the carnal man, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus will set us free from the law of sin and death.

 

Our victory is in three stages:

 

First our sincere desire to obey God. The Holy Spirit is the author of such desire. Our intention is where our victory begins.

 

Second we have partial breakthrough yet with a continued struggle

 

We have substantial breakthrough so that we rarely struggle in a previous area of sin. They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17)

 

God said to Joshua little by little I will give you the land. You win the battle by:

 

·         One step at a time

·         One choice at a time

·         One decision at a time

@missmuffetit’s not easy. I’m doing this for reasons only I can fathom. The patches make me very nervous,so I took it off and now I want to smoke. I can’t win. 

Besides praying and maybe thinking on some Scripture verses, can you sometimes chew gum or eat some non-fat item?

 Both my parents smoked. When I was little and they were in the car I told them to please not smoke because it made me sick. I got car sick and the smoke made it much worse.

I think it is not considerate for smokers to smoke around others and subject them to the second hand smoke. A smoker should go outside to smoke. 

Years ago it was legal in California to smoke in restaurants.   Then finally they made a non-smoking section.   Now it is totally illegal to smoke in restaurants, office buildings, apartments, etc.   One must even stand about 25 feet away from entrances.

But I can remember sitting at lunch counters and a smoker would take out a cigarette after their meal, while I was still eating my meal!!   So I would get a bunch of smoke in my mouth along with my food!!   It was awful back then.

The weird thing about cigarettes is that they don’t get you “high”. Maybe a tiny bit for a new smoker. But they are highly addictive. It’s weird to me. I have smoked for many years and I discourage it to anyone. I don’t know why I would ever start, but I did ☹️
