Quit Smoking Help

[mikey12561]

I smoke cigarettes and honestly would like to quit. Everytime I get close and start to quit I fail again and I'm buying another pack. If I could get some help that would be nice and appreciated.

Hi!
I would suggest getting an accountability partner- someone you can go to, a friend you can call whenever you feel a craving. Then they can help convince you to put a cigarette down you whenever you feel a craving.
You can also find some kind of other outlet to use- I'm not sure if the nicotine patches/ gum work, but that may be an option. Prayer helps too : )
I'm praying for you, and I hope it works out!

thanks for the encouragment from the three of you. I'm still working on it. I agree with the accountability partner thing but I don't really have anyone to talk to about it.

There are some good resources out there. One I came across recently was on a lot of topics related to better living with hypnosis. You can sure give it a try. I also noticed that they are offering a free mp3.

When you quit smoking, you'll enjoy your life more...

As a christian just remember, immediate gratification is never good... (i.e. smoking)

p.s. my prays go out to you.

How is it going with quitting smoking? Reason I ask is that I'm a Christian and a smoker, and would like to quit as well. I've tried Chantix before and it worked very well for me, although clearly not permanently since I started again. Right now, my plan is to pray for willingness and spend daily time with God, and I have an accountability partner who is also a Christian who smokes. We both want to quit (but also don't really "want" to) so my first step is to pray for willingness and to keep reading His word. Any other great thoughts that you've gathered from others that you'd like to share?

A word of encourgement

When you are struggling with problems/troubles you need to get your eyes off of your weakness/habit and get your mind on God. The bible says: "Walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh." What does that mean: Read the bible more, listen to good music, praising and worshipping God, less time worrying, less time trying to figure out your problems, less time struggling, less time being afraid that if you don't overcome this God will reject you and more time just Hanging on the vine. Guess what? God will give you the strength to overcome that weakness and that flaw. If you are struggling with something you don't need to put more effort in it you need to spend more time with God, you don't need to call up four friends ask them what to do you need to spend more time with God. - Joyce Meyer
