It's gotten really bad.. what do I do?

Okay I have been smoking since before I was 18. I am one of the worst chain smokers you have ever met. I just can't believe it's gotten as bad as it has.
Today, I was looking at some old wal-mart cards I had and I had just enough to go buy a pack of cigarettes. I went into wal-mart and I got in line and when it was my turn the lady asked for my I.D. and I looked and I couldn't find it. So she just asked my date of birth so I told her and she entered it well the machine messed up and she had to have a manager come over and fix and then he asked for I.D. and we told him that I didn't have it and then he wouldn't sell me the cigarettes. So I left and I was really [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]ed I got to my car and I couldn't get the door unlocked which happens a lot cause it gets stuck. So I kicked the car! I got in my car and automatically I started crying... I was just bawling... I sat there probably close to 30mins just crying my eyes out... I looked in my purse and found my I.D. so I went back and bought the cigarettes and after that everything was fine.

Seriously, I have never cried because I didn't have cigarettes. I mean I don't have a lot of money and especially right now I am in between pay checks so I am really broke. But I didn't realize my addiction had gotten so bad! I just don't know what to do. I hate it when I run out and then I get a little irrated but I have never kicked my car or anything else... and I have never bawled about it... I am just afraid of whats going to happen next. Am I going to break something? hurt myself? hurt someone else? It truly scares me.

Your not alone. What just happened should be a clear sign of saying to yourself "I am done with this" I also know it isnt easy one bit

When you do it in your own strength.

Jesus did not die just for the forgivness of Sins but to also release us from the power of sin. What you need to do is take this to God and sincerely ask Him to help you with this. God gave me the power to quit. He can give you the strength to do it as well.

But you need to really want to. What alot of people including myself oftentimes forget that our body is the temple of God, and for us putting cigerettes into our system is not pleasing to Him. If you really do want to quit you can, ask God to show you and help you

Cigerettes have been quite a struggle with me, and I still slip, not because God can't help me alot of times I dont even let Him...

Which is my fault and mine alone.

Will Pray that God gives you a helping hand

Sad story... But that's the life of a smoker. living from one cigarette to the next. It's sad because I can tell you buy them pack by pack... I feel gradual wihhdrawl is the worst thing anyone can do to themselves but, smokers are certain that they can quit if they cut back.. that isn't true.. Buying them pack by pack isn't going to make them go away any faster. It actually can be bad for your quit. Making withdrawl symptoms seem more harmful than they are. The truth is that people who quit do so in three ways: 1. they get sick; god gives you two days head start 2. You spontaniously decide that enough is enough " my favorite" 3. You get diagnosed with a terminnal disease and realize how detromental smoke actually is... What you can do is wait for a day when you are sick of it... then all you do is commit to throw away everthing you smoked with and never put nicoteen into you body ever again!
