• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I hope you do quit, and soon. The health benefits for quitting are definitely there. After seeing my aunt, and a good family friend suffer multiple strokes from years of smoking, it would be tremendous if you can avoid such a thing. My mother-in-law had lung cancer, but they did surgery and got rid of it entirely. She was very fortunate. There are just so many things it causes. If you do it for yourself, that is a good reason, if you do it for your family it is even better. God bless.
