:hugI have missed you all!!! Have had some troubles with my computer and it had to go to the Doctor!!! It is still slow and not doing the best but I am hoping it doesn't give out on me.. I would miss it and it would be hard [money thing] to get another one. So hoping for the best...
Well in spite of the fact that things have not been going well and I still go back to wanting my farm and missing it I have not smoked. That is because the Lord is keeping me strong. :pray Allie is doing better but, not well yet. I am sorry she is so sick, but we have had some great times together since she needed all the love and care. I love caring for my girl and well, I just love her.
Keeping on keeping on everybody!!! Love Peg:hug:

Its so good to see so many be able to stop smoking iam also trying to stop i went almost 3 days and gave in going to keep on trying please pray for me i want to stop so bad . :wave It is my prayers that you know that with God's help & giving you the strength you can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me(us). It is not worth the health issues it causes. Also, it is not being a good Christian witness. My mom, dad, & brother were smokers & I made up my mind I was breaking that cycle. Whom the son sets free is free indeed. We are more than conquerors through Christ. My mom has COPD & only 35% of her lungs left and she just had her 81st birthday. :lol2 Janice

I've got a funny stop smoking story to share. I talked to an old friend about it and he told me how he quit years ago. He had tried and tried and thought he would be a slave to smoking the rest of his life. His doctor was screaming at him to quit. Finally one day he fell to his knees and cried out to God-'please Lord, make those cigarettes make me sick!'...so He did, and they did!:hat

:hugs to everyone who has posted here on this thread. I see the Lord blessing each and everyone of you, do you see it? I have been keeping all of you in my prayers and know that you are praying for me also. Thank you, please keep praying for me. I have been doing good. Over the last weekend we went to our daughters for the weekend. I forgot my Chantix. And I was so busy with all the kids and grandkids, I didn't even realize it. So when Monday rolled around, I got to wondering, do I really need this anymore, I only have a few more days left and I will have done 3 months. I didn't take any on Monday. Tuesday morning I woke up depressed, angry, mean, tired, etc. I wanted a cigarette, and I wanted one NOW!! I almost talked myself into it too! Then I realized I was coming off the Chantix. Oh, no! I took a dose and have kept up with it. My doctor wanted me to stay on it for 6 months, and I hate taking meds and just couldn't understand why she would want me on this for 6 months when most people are on it for 3 months! So, I got on the net and found out why. "Yes, some people are alright after 3 months, but many of those will relapse. The brain takes 6 months to recuperate from depression, from no nicotine, etc., so to be safe, take the Chantix for 6 months, to have a better chance of being healed. Those who took Chantix for 6 months rarely relapse." I got a little lax there, and I tell ya, when I took that pill on Tue. morning, I started praying really hard for forgiveness. Wed. I was still a little depressed, and tired but no longer angry. Today, I feel like myself again, Happy & energetic. Praising God, ready for the day, excited to be alive. Today is day 78 and I have saved $465! I still have quite the road ahead of me, I now realize. The battle isn't over, I am just thankful the Lord is still sticking with me and holding me up in His right hand! Headed into a long 3 day weekend of camping in the mountains and fly fishing for trout. I am relaxing so good on my weekends, (I won't forget my meds this weekend!!). Have a great weekend everyone!
