I have tried several times to quit, but have failed. :ohno I have prayed and prayed on this, and I still fall flat on my face. I have been under MAJOR stress the last 2 years, and while that is no excuse, smoking has helped calm my nerves...
I hope to be where ya'all are one day.

Maybe if I hang out in here it'll rub off.......:yay

Light4mypath, I will be blunt with you, if you have been praying about it then deep down inside you must be wanting to get rid of this habit. You proably wonder what it is like to take in a deep breath and not cough or what it is like to be able to go to church and not wonder if you smell like smoke. Or maybe you feel like it is keeping you from having a true walk with GOD. I say these things becuase it is how I felt. I have got to tell you that I prayed and I prayed GOD would take this from me. And I know it is only by his grace. I will pray for you just as I know that people were praying for me. I remember how inspiring it was for me to read this same thread on the old board and to know that there was others just like me struggling with the same issue, but also knowing that GOD had given many of them grace over it- just like I belive he will give you grace over it!

Thank you Both!!!:ghug

I've had 2 since March 23 after an 18 year PPD habit. For some reason when I work my part time job every other Friday night, I have to have one....hence, the 2 cigs in a month. But, other than that, I am doing good.

I used Chantix and believe me if I can do it anyone can. I slept on my back yesterday for 2 hours and I could breathe! :yay

Praise God!

:yay Great job Michelle95! Okay another week down Praise the LORD! Let's keep going everyone.

Doing great here!

I've been smoke free for
9 weeks 1 Day

I've not smoked
1,279 cigarettes

I've saved
$230.22


As some of you know, I was forced to quit cold turkey after having minor heart surgery in Feb. God is good and while I do still have twinges of cravings on occasion, He has taken the desire away from me.

Keep up the good work y'all! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

:hat alright! Live4Jesus glad to see you! I love the post that you do!

Hey, everybody. It's nice to see that others are trying to quit also. Tomorrow's a new day. I did the patch a while back, but then I caved in. I'll start all over again tomorrow. It's hard to talk to others about Christ when they know I smoke. Therefore, the cigs have gotta go!!!

38 yrs of 2 packs a day and the grace of God gave me a new beginning two years ago last Feb 27th. PTL

He can deliver you too, "all" you have to do is to LET him. (That's the hard part.)
I used the patch for 4 weeks to get me through the first part. I never believed I could quit, never really tried before, I was too scared to even try & I quit on my first attempt. I know that God gave me the strength for that. :)

No more stinky clothes, stinky breath, coughing or wheezing. No more centering my existence around whether or not I can smoke and do I have enough cigarettes. AND no more burning up all my money in smoke!!!

The don't call Him the Deliverer for nothing. He is there for you! =D
