Six hours ago I put my cigarettes down, and I am committed to quitting this horrible habit for good. I am 33 years old, have smoked (re inhaled) since I was 14 years old - so I have been smoking for around 19 years now. I was a heavy smoker, usually two packs a day but sometimes as much as three packs a day.
It stinks, I'm embarrassed of the way that I smell. It's messy and gross and leaves a mess everywhere that you do it. It's unhealthy - incredibly unhealthy! I have lost my singing voice, and have a 'smokers cough'. I can hardly say anything without clearing my throat anymore.
I also feel as if being a smoker hurts me as a witness of God's word. Smoking is looked at as 'sinful' and looked down on in our society - and I dont want my bad habit to get in the way of ANYone's salvation. Or the fact that I have a cigarette in my hand to make me think twice about sharing God's Word.
I am also doing this in repentance, which is a personal matter.
If you are reading this post, and you are a believer, please pray with me to God, that he will help me through this. I believe that God will forgive me and that he will heal me - both spiritually and physically. In Jesus name, Amen.
