Check out 1 Corinthians 10:13 and hold onto it Love you in the Lord!!!! In Christ, Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You alone can choose to not light another cigarette (a slow suicide) and turn your complete focus on God. In His strength He will get you through-but only if you will trust Him to do so. "Casting all your cares upon Him...He will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him." -1 Peter 5:7 / Isaiah 26:3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm praying for you! I know you don't need a lecture, but with all your other health issues - Is smoking really an option?

I quit in early Feb. and haven't had one yet, not even a puff. It helped to take very very deep breaths every time I got the urge. That's also what reminds me I never want to smoke again. Being able to breath instead. I hear in AZ they have rows of hospitals packed with ex-smokers breathing through tubes in their throats. That thought also keeps me distant from smoking. That's a horrible death. Slip-ups aren't the end of the world, though. I'm still praying for you. I know you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
