No courage

[MikeRB]

Like everyone else, I know I need to quit, but I have no courage and I'm afraid that the next time I try will turn out like all the other times I tried to quit, unsuccessful.

Fear and lack of courage seem to be my stumbling blocks.

Don't ever give up on trying to quit. You health is WAY to important to ever give up trying.

You will be successful if you keep trying and keep praying. It takes people varying amounts of time to quit. But I know you can do it because I've done it too. God bless you and I'm praying for you.

Faithfully,

I am right there with you brother in the same battle, praying for you and myself.

 

[Scott1979]

Praying you keep God close during this time and never give up fighting to quit.

Maybe God has heard some prayers.

Last Wed. I fell prey to a chest cold, my lungs got full of crud, head & muscles ached, missed work w-f and I stayed in bed. Three days I slept, ate nothing and drank very little water...was so sick I didn't even crave for a cigarette. Now I'm feeling a bit better and am determined that since the nicotine is out of my system, I'd like to keep it that way. Maybe the craving will not return but most likely it will return...either way I want to thank you guys for your prayers...it is appreciated!

 

[Scott1979]

Very sorry to hear about you being sick but very glad to hear about not craving a cigarette. Praying God keeps the urge for a cigarette away from you. Lean on Him during this time. You're fighting a hard battle but you have the best ally you could ask for. Good luck and God Bless my friend!!

It's tough. After about 5 days I picked them up again. I think it was more out of habit than anything else. I sure regret lighting that first one up.

If God ever wanted to show off His power...I'd be more than happy to be the recipient. Considering the prayers I've offered and the sincerity of my heart I sometimes wonder why He just doesn't step in and heal me. I read of Jesus in the NT and see all the people He healed. Surely it wouldn't be any more difficult for Him to heal me...would it?

Maybe He doesn't because it is self inflicted?

Stay strong brother? I've got a question. Are you sure you are ready to quit? The only reason I asked is because I work with a guy who quit smoking a few years back. I was talking to him about it and he told me that the thing that helped him was that he got to the point where he actually wanted to give them up. I think knowing you should and wanting to are 2 different things. Keep praying about it. Don't give up man. Best of luck.
