• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Really quit smoking today

Today I have finally realized why I should quit smoking. My fiance and I are going to do this together. Last night I told her that I would for her because she has asthma. She smoked at times creating a bigger risk for herself. I prayed to God last night and today, and I was drawn to some videos which enlightened me on how bad cigarettes really are.

Restricted blood flow, hardening of arteries, loss of oxygen throughout the body etc... just to name a few. I am VERY excited that i have not had one all day and i plan on never touching them again. Even a puff. I have probably spent about 2 or more hours today looking at the harmful side effects. I have finally quit for good.

I am posting this because I want others to take the time and look throughout the web on how bad cigarettes are for you. It may help you like it did me. I know my fiance Brandi is going to be very proud of me, and so is the big guy upstairs. Most of all i am saving myself and adding years to this brief life we have down here to do the good works of the Lord. I will pray for all of you in this forum that you can see the same light as I did. Thank you for reading my post! God Bless!
