I used to smoke 4 packs of cigarettes a day (there are 20 cigarettes in a pack). I was a habitual chain smoker. However, I’ve made progress and reduced my intake to only 6 cigarettes a day, which is a significant decrease. I smoke two after breakfast, two after lunch, and two after dinner. Again, it’s a significant decrease from the amount that I used to smoke.
God told me he is very displeased with my smoking habit, even though it’s only 6 cigarettes a day. He told me that it will still eventually cause cancer. The statistics I’ve read show that smoking decreases a smoker’s lifespan by an average of 14 years.
Some very bad things have been happening to me, all unrelated to smoking. I don’t want to talk about it, but trust me, it’s bad. God said he would remove my suffering if I quit smoking.
However, it’s very hard to quit. I need medicine like Chantix or some other pill that makes the withdrawals easier. But since there is coronavirus going around, I can’t see my doctor right now to get medicine to help me quit smoking, since I don’t want to take a risk on getting infected at the doctor’s office.
I want God to remove my suffering now, and in the meantime I’ll wait until I can get medicine to help me detox from nicotine. I can’t quit first because of the coronavirus circumstances.
Ohhh... I see! You know, I have this saying of mine:
God would not help you as long you don't help yourself; so you actually started to help yourself, reducing the number of cigars, and this is how God was able to help you, it's a two way relationship, don't expect for God to come from the sky and cure you from smoking if you really do not want to free yourself from this addiction that it's actually your way to escape the "daily life" and while doing this causing you a lot more damage than good. It's like you hide all your bad experiences under a carpet, but one day, there will not be more space to hide under this carpet...
I suffered from severe depression for 6 years, it took me around a year to actually feel some relief, taking no drugs or anything like this, just by sheer will, I changed the way I think and this is how God was able to help me....
You can try this: Sit in your bed, on your back, with your face pointing up, your arms around your body and your legs stretched. Now, wait some time, let's say, 5 minutes, pray out loud with your own words, call upon yourself the Light, call Jesus Christ to help you, do it as if your life depends on it ( when we can't take it anymore, we feel like going mad, like crying out loud, relieve this experience now ), then close your eyes. Now, keep on praying, with your own words for some time, pray until you feel you have released all your emotions, now, stop praying and wait in silence. Don't engage with your thoughts, think about nothing, absolutely nothing, if a thought comes, let it be, it will go in no time. Now, while you are in this silence, you may hear a voice talking or you may see many images, let this experience flow on its own.
Do this daily, at least 20-30 minutes, pray 10-20 minutes and then sit in silence at least 20 minutes. Do it for at least one month, do it, believe me, 6 years of depression gone...
You can PM me every day for the time you do this, I am always around, you know, I stay by your side to know that you are not alone in this, most people just give up on this after first try....
