Good Adventist Resources For Stopping Smoking?

[catlover]

I am not happy to admit when life handed me some challenges I picked up the habit, again. It's worse than before, because I KNOW better.

I also fear gaining weight etc if I quit.

Are there any good stop smoking programs with The Adventist church?

Well, when you find out, let me know!

Red posted a link to an Adventist program for smoking cessation, but the link was broken. He was going to repost it, but I think he forgot.

I found that article. I haven't read all of it, but it talks about a program called "BreatheFree" given at the Adventist church. I wonder if that is still around anywhere.

Thank-you, for the link. My children would be extremely happy if I quit.

I think all will be happy if you quit as it (smoking) benefits no one.

I used to smoke, but not heavily. Maybe a little more than half pack per day.

I had to quit when I got married. Because no man can serve two masters. Either the cigarettes go or I go.

I found the toughest part is not the nicotine, but the feeling of puffing out a smoke and holding the cigarette with your fingers.

The mind is a powerful thing. I know if I dwell on those feelings and surround myself with people who smoke, I'll probably pick up smoking again. The key is not putting yourself in the position to fail.

I have heard many success stories of people quiting by the power of the Lord. And I had tried to help someone who really wanted to quit but carried cigarettes and a lighter in his pockets.

Get rid of all your cigarettes, lighters. Get around Christians who can give you the positive re-enforcements.

When all else fails, use your most powerful weapon: prayer. I have never fallen into temptation when I sincerely prayed for deliverance.

Hope this helps,
