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.

Hi Mandie
It's good to be honest. I am not sure what you are looking for other than to be honest. It is hard to give up smoking. If I was your age and only smoked for three years, I would think of some nice things I wanted a lot and start saving for them by not buying cigarettes.
Did you know that that more you think about quitting smoking, the more smoking is on your mind. Relax and think of other things.

Hi Broken
One of the things that I found after many years of trying to quit smoking was that I had to quit for me, because I wanted to, not for anybody else. The commitment you make has to be to yourself, for yourself, if you really want it to work. At least that is the way it was for me. I couldn't do it for my kids or anybody else.....had to be for me.

Just like freyajem said, smoking is a very hard thing to quit. I smoked for 25 plus years and then the doctor told me if I didn't quit that I would die of emphysema. Well after that, it took me at least a year and a half to quit. I had such a hard time doing it, but if I can quit anyone can...Well to make a long story short I do have a touch of emphysema and I am on medication for it but thank God I do not have to carry an oxygen tank around with me as long as I take care of myself...Quitting is do-able but not easy...Just keep the faith and most of all depend on God for stength....God bless...
