• 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.

Praying for you. I bet it's safe to say that all of us on this board who have quit would tell you it took a lot of tries before we finally were able to do it. Prayer is a big part of that so I'll keep you in prayer. Hang in there, it seems like the discomfort and urges will go on forever, but that's a lie. They do get easier and better and eventually you'll find your just not thinking about it anymore.

I will pray for you. I have never smoked, but am highly allergic to the stuff. :eek:

Also, just remember that the cravings only last for a few minutes. If you can get through those few minutes, you will do well. Set up something else for you to do to get through those craving periods. I believe there may be some advice for quitting smoking on the Internet, if you run a search engine on that topic. I'm sure people who have actually quit can give better advice than I can. May God bless you in this! :hug:

I pray thatGod will give you the strength to over come know that you can do all things through Christ who strengths you. I didn't want to say this but is leading liek I have/need to you can't just rely on our prayer you have to also be praying yourself.God honors when you pray for yourself it shows him that you truly want to stop and it's for real.I will be in Prayer for you God is wacthing over you and heards you cry but talk to him tell him how you feel prayer now is needed so much we all including me should be prayer when we get the time I know as I said before it goes for me too. I am supporting you and saying Yes you can do it with God's hel, and your prayers plus ours to him even though yours is more important. Bless you in Jesus Name and know what I said was out of Love not out of Hatye or anything else okay? Love your sis in Christ, Godslilgurl
