Newbie needs some help!!

[Daisy2]

My name is Leslie, and I have quit smoking. My last day on the patch was Saturday. I am having a hard time. I am very depressed and I fell that my life sucks.

I have a very good life. I have a husband that loves me with all of his heart, and would do anything for me.

I have thought about going to a therapist but I feel weird about going. I thought that I might get some kind of good advice from here maybe.

I also feel that I am alone in my feelings.

I am a saved christian but not currently attending church.

If anyone can give some advice I would appreciate it.

Thanks
---Leslie

Hi Leslie
I am new here too. I am still trying to quit. Quiting isn't really the problem for me...it's not starting back up again.
I would suggest that you get back into church and let others know you have quit and use their support. Keeping busy and being in places where smoking isn't allowed seems to be a help too.
Good luck and God Bless

A prayer to stop smoking.
Jesus, You are the Lord of my life.
I am praying and believing I can be set free of the habit of smoking.

I ask that I be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power from the Holy Spirit who lives and dwells in me. I am strong in the Lord and will be impowered through my union with the Him. Lord I am armed with the full armor of God and I will be able to stand up against all the lies of satan in the name of Jesus.
I pray for deliverance from this habit and I receive complete freedom now.
Lord, I ask that you give me the ability, strength and courage to discipline my body and subdue it.

I pray that I will be able to withstand temptation, because Jesus is the Lord of my life. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Lord, I ask that with Your Love, cover me and give me total control over this habit and it will never control me again. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen
