[Dylan_Chica]

i'm 22 and i suffer from depression and a few years ago i started smoking with a friend just to have something to do (even though i knew it was stupid), i've tried quitting several times but i can't, i wanted to stop on new years but it was hopeless, several of my friends smoke but my family hates my smoking i just don't know what to do... can anyone help?

[Dylan_Chica]

Hello Dylan_Chica, my name is Sandy and I know that trying to quit smoking is not an easy task but it can be done. Maybe you could try using the patch, I did and while they aren't miracle workers, they do take the edge off and make it easier the first few weeks of being smoke-free. This is a substance abuse forum. Maybe you would have more replies if you post in the quit smoking forum. Here is the link to it: http://www.christianforums.com/f482-quit-smoking.html

If you need to talk I am here, just PM me. May God bless you and strengthen you in your quest to put this nasty addiction to rest.. YOU CAN DO IT...
