• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Guy's cigarettes are making me sick every time I smoke. I know it's bad that it had to come to this but I'm really worried and want to quit smoking. Please I just need prayer cos I feel hopeless, I feel as tho I'm to weak or maybe I really don't want to. It's tearing up my ulcers as well. I'm trying to get the right mind set and hopefully I will go and conquere this. Thanks!!!!

Will pray. The trick is to keep yourself distracted. I did well at home and while driving but struggled during breaks at work. I started picking up a newspaper on the way in and working the crossword, sudoku, and word scramble puzzles during breaks and that really helped. I know its unorthodox but I also used chewing tobacco in pouches to transition to being a non-smoker. I didn't need it nearly as often as I needed a cigarette and after a few weeks it was easy to replace with regular chewing gum.

I quit smoking after being nauseated constantly. That is a good reason to quit, if they are making you feel terrible. Jesus will lead you if you take his hand and go with him to lose this addiction. Sometimes going to a doctor can help, too. I am praying for you.:crosseo:
