• 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.

I know exactly how you feel and what you are going through. I HATE being a smoker. I'm about 19 hours without a cigarette now and I smoke a pack and a half a day. I'm using the patch this time but it still isn't easy. I honestly want to cry. Our lives are worth so much more then that addiction. Ask Jesus to give you strength, get out of the house and go where you can't smoke. If you are stuck inside try to spend time in the room you smoke the least in or not at all.

May Jesus give you his strength,
Momrocks

Sorry to hear that sister, I will pray. I hate to offer another "solution" as I am sure you have already tried many, but I can't help but notice you are 17. I know that it has to be difficult for you to even get cigarettes in the first place since it should be illegal for you to buy them. Can you tell your sources providing them that you are trying to stop and ask them to stop providing it for you no matter what you say later? By doing that you don't really have many options to pick up the habit again.

Wow!!! Been there, you have my full sympathy. Here is the hardcore wild man technique. It works 100% of the time.

Actually, I don't know if you want to try this, but it worked for me. I got two serious lung infections one after the other that cured me completely, and got that smoking monkey on my back for two years now. In fact I swore I'd never smoke again and I haven't.

Problem could be, a prayer like this is probably unprecedented. I mean who in their right mind prays for something like that? And would God give you something so hideous?

Failing that, roll a horse hair into a roll your own cigarette and smoke that bad boy. I promise you this, you'll think twice about trying that again. But don't listen to yourself, keep on going ya little trooper, one after the other until you stop smoking.

Have you tried electronic cigarettes? I used to smoke about a pack a day until i picked up 2 electronic cigarettes. They use a water soluble nicotine solution and the cigarette vaporizes it. It lacks all the carcinogens and harmful chemicals(plus the smoke) of a regular cigarette but still gives the same feeling. I breath alot better and have no more of that stupid phlem in my lungs. There pretty cheap aswell. I just advise avoiding the ones in the mall there a ripoff compared to the ones you can purchase online.
