My prayers go with you my friend.
I am trying to quit too.
It is one of the hardest things that I have ever done in my life.
I wish you success.

When you really need to
When He wants you to
you WILL
become strong enough to beat this-ADDICTION
Thank you for supporting my hope to do so
I that you also
can achieve what is RIGHT, for-you, dear nj Sis'

My prayers are with you both. It is very hard to do but you will be so proud of yourselves when you do it. Just remember that everyday that you go without smoking is----is a day you will have to do again if you start up. Does that make sense? I hope so. God bless.

Well, I don't smoke, but I am trying to diet...which right now seems to be proving difficult

For those of you trying to quit smoking, hope this is encouraging. My mother smoked heavily for over 50 years and decided to quit smoking finally. I didn't think she would ever quit, but she did. She has been smoke-free now for about 15 years.

Praying for you in your efforts. Blessings~~

I would like my 25 year old to quit. He is the only one in the family who smokes. I used to years ago as a young woman and have asthma now. Hubby was miraculously delivered after he became a Christian in 1979 I quit in 1073 but It wasn't that easy for me but God got me through. Prayers for success in this goal guys.

I smoked too at one time. Fortunately I quit while I was still a teen. Everyone who is trying quit has my sympathy and prayer.

Prayers.... that your Son
can acknowledge, the unnecessary risk
that we have taken in our lives

Where 'risks' taken, with an intent
to achieve the beneficial, have, some hope
and possibly good outcome

Smoking, does not only put soot in the chimney
but alters body cells to behave abnormally
and ALWAYS detrimentally

I moved from Ready-Made Cigarettes to hand rolling tobacco
over 40 years ago
this because I learned of the chemicals which are 'washed-in'
to make the tobacco burn evenly in 'ready mades'
Once lit, these cigarettes will burn to the end,
even, when no-one puffs on them...just, like a fuse ?

A roll-up will go out after the space of, two/three puffs
when no puff is taken

roll-up tobacco is, moister [when fresh] and, does not dry the throat

Until I was eleven years old, I had suffered from Bronchitis
several times a year, ie: throughout my childhood

I began smoking, with my entry to High School
and bronchitis, has FAILED, TO VISIT ME SINCE...... [?]
I guess, that something in the smoke, prevented further infections

Nowadays,
the blood vessels, are showing
that they have become FURRED-UP
and cholesterols can be wicked vessel blockers
causing, swelling, of, arteries, infarcts and haemorhages

Bad News all-around......

We can do this! We have our faith in the Lord and that strengthens us!
I think tomorrow will be the day that I will wake up and not light up!

I have climbed-up hills and mountains and marched across the land
I have swum in rivers and oceans and flown to and from foreign-land
I could never find an answer to the question I had at hand
why I, could stand there firmly whilst the other folks stood on sand
I cannot confirm, what I am believing, I am only a man
but I feel that I am protected by one Almighty Hand

I have been down the diet trail too. I had been 50 lbs gone before the holiday's, but I have since put about 20 back on. So now I will be fighting with the smoking and the weight too.
But I can do it if I pray and ask the Lord for strength.
I will be praying for you dieting too.
God Bless

I will be praying for him also.
Smoking is a very nasty habit and I wish that I had never started.

[njsisterinChrist]

I just want to thank you all for praying for me and supporting me in my decision to quit this nasty habit.
Tomorrow I will wake up, but not light up.
Good night my friends.
With much love,
God Bless

[clairefish]

I will pray for you tonight and all through the night and into the morning. And I will be honored to do so.

 

[missmsdancearama]

Good evening. I will pray for you too. Smoking is very bad and besides it is a very costly habit both health and moneywise. Just take it one day at a time. I know you can do it.

 

[davedajobauk]

I woke up this-morning, bleary-eyed and yawning like Muffin the Mule

> I caught a glimpse in the bathroom mirror over the cheek & with one eye open <

I felt like I hadnt had quite long enough, but anyway, I am awake
and am not going back > pants on shirt on slippers on <

Mary is downstairs cleaning the tops
and then mopped the floors... saying good-morning to one another
as I strolled in and put the kettle on to boil
for a cuppa tea for Mary and a coffee for myself

All this
instead of, heading directly to the back door
with cigarette-papers and my baccy in hand

This morning, it is different,
today, the coffee
and my Adalat 20mg
and Aspirin 75mg, they will come first
and then I will try
to think of other things, like folks here and 'Piper'
a seven years old lady collie
that is coming to stay with us for a week or two
Her owners are going south on holiday
where dogs are not allowed
and for-whom, kennel-costs are prohibitive
and not, like
leaving your pet with someone you know does love them

So every moment I dont spend THINKING
about that USA PRODUCT from 'Virginia'
is how much closer I come > to leaving it alone

I have, cut back to 15 each day [thereabouts]

My 'confidence' though shaky
comes from knowing I have some here
for, whenever I might start feeling queer
and /or,
shakes and trembles start a-happening
but that will be for the best I fear
if, I do not feed this hunger
I can pick up my prescription for Nicotine Patches
in a couple of hours
and they will be of help
and the FREE Nicotinell Chewing Gum will doubtless be a boon
and help to tide me over, so I can give up soon



Good morning all


Here I go again.... and ALWAYS seriously
but this time there will be no going back

I would like very much to quit...
but as I type this,
the skin on my face is already beginning to thrill
Mary is making me a boiled egg sandwich
'something different' for breakfast

We had homemade Apple Crumble last night [takes bow]
with Vanilla Icecream over it MMMMMMMMMMMhhhhh!!
and before that, we had Beef Risotto, for lunch
which was my very first attempt
to make and eat that meal, > it was very tasty

I want my body, to experience 'different things'
to try to camouflage
it's removal from something that is BAD for it

[Valentine]

Good morning everyone. Praying for those of you who are trying to quit smoking. Prayers and to everyone.

 

[davedajobauk]

Thanks for your continued efforts Bro Dave!

First attempt

I do regret having been too busy to get so far until now

[keeptrying]

Good Morning Dave, I read your post and can really relate. I quit smoking many years ago and I can still remember what it was like. It CAN be done and you can do it. Oh, PS, much of that "product" is grown right here in good ole North Carolina.

 

[buttercup2000]

Dear Dave, My prayers for you! I quit smoking in April 1982. It was very difficult (to say the least...) and I am sympathetic. When it gets tough think of your Golden Eagle friends who are praying for you!

 

[keeptrying]

Don't I look just awful! It's for a contest. I might win "looks worse in morning" contest.
