i've been smoking now for about 6 years. i went from a pack a day, then to awhile really cutting back but now kind of back on it.
it's odd how stress, worry brings up the desire to smoke even more. not using it as an exscuse tho, just the reason.
sometimes i feel like giving up trying to quit. time and time again and failing and failing. prayed and prayed, i guess i just trust God's timing with this.
but i dont' want to give up trying to quit either. my fiancee has really breathed in some fresh desire to quit.
i dont' feel guilty in my conscience or faith. the argument of it hurting the temple is bogus to me, because of all the other stuff that we normally do in our everyday life. eat fastfood, drink pop, drink coffee which carries and addictive drug in it, and so much else.
but i really want to quit for my fiancee. she's really worried about my health. i mean i feel fine, but smoking is really bad for your health of course, and she just gets worried. and it's something big to her for other reasons that i won't get into. and to be honest, i feel like i'd be doing a good thing for God, to quit for her. kind of like quitting for both of them. and then maybe for my sister and my mom.
some say, we have to quit for ourselves. but when your addicted, that's just not a possibility most of the time. and i can't find more concerns for myself to quit but yea to make my health better. but i dont' like the fluxiating of moods when i do try to quit for a day or a week. i like being me. and of course the changes in moods are only temporary but that isn't the case.
i'm not the one who is into taking pills. maybe it's the guy in me, or just the fact that i don't want to rely on a pill and get addicted to that pill to get me to kick the habit of doing something more addictive.
so at times i feel at a loss, but still longing to quit.
anyways, just keep me in your prayers. i know my fiancee is probably doing it, and her prayers are all i really want. but it can't hurt to have more people praying as well.
and maybe anyone else struggling to kick the habit, please feel free to post. maybe we can all help each other out through discussion, meaning the ones that are still in the process of kicking the habit.
God Bless you all! <><
