Can't stop yet!

[Zita123]

Well, I'm still fighting with smoking, It seems that it's the only thing I have to calm me down. My husband just quit about 4 weeks ago and He keeps on me all the time but, I'm not ready, I think that's why I don't really pray on it. I don't want to stop. I do know I have to ( health wise ) but, for now I like it.. Please pray that I change some how and want to stop because that is a whole lot better to quit if you want to than if you don't!!

Trust in God. Pray for assistance. I know it is hard to over come addiction but KEEP FIGHTING. Remember, you are not alone. If you feel your self weaking, take refuge in God. Run away from the temptation. Also, keep yourself occupied. This will make it so that you don't think about smoking as much and think about your life more.

I have the same problem, I don't want to quit but I know I have to. It is definitely not an easy task. I will be praying for you and myself to quit.

Here is a site that has kept me motivated to quit and helped me from caving in to the cravings. I dont know if it will help or not, but hey, you never know http://whyquit.com/

Can you add me and my husband to the list, please?

I kinda want to quit and sorta don't want to, but when he comes home from work with a pack from the gas station or lights up one right in front of me... It's hard not to.
Otherwise, I usually do not light up unless he buys a pack.

My husband is not ready to stop, but he has smoked since he was around 8ish or 9ish, give or take. If and when he stops, I hope he has enough energy that he won't go back to it!

Thank you all for your honesty! I feel like I'm " bad " for smoking. I always try to hide it from people. I still would like to quit but, I really like it !! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! I'll be praying for you all including myself! Zita123

I like to use this excuse alot too, but then I always remember a statement I once read that said "we should realize that non-smokers handle all kinds of stressful situations without smoking, so why do we think we couldn't handle them too!"
Sometimes I really don't like my memory.

While you are smoking, say to yourself. "this is the last one" then extinguish the sigarette, and NEVER touch a sigarette again.
