• 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 strugggled trying to stop smoking since I was 16 years old, I'm 50 now. I stopped in 1992 for 5 years but always craved a cigarette. When my marriage broke down in 1997 I started again. Once more I could not stop and I either smoked a cigar or was on nicotine gum.

In early January 2000 when I was taking nicotine gum, I was at a friends house where they prayed for me about stuff generally, not smoking though as I thought that this was just part of my struggle through life.

3 days passed and I had not noticed that I had not had a nicotine gum, infact my cravings had gone completely? I threw the gum out of the window in Jan 2000 and I have never craved or smoked a cigarette since? It has to be God!

cheers
