• 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'm struggling with trying to quit. It's the hardest thing I ever tried to do.

Currently I am failing miserably, but Bishop TD Jakes says NOTHING should have control over me. Calls it a stronghold. Says putting them down is a small price to pay to get something from between me and my destiny.

I had to quit smoking when I was pregnent with my daughter. But now I really have to fight with myself to not ask for one from my friends... Even though I know they won't give me one, they keep reminding me I have to be healthy for my daughter to see her grow up.

Maybe that's what I should do. Just tell them not to give me one. I think part of the temptation is in the fact that I know they'd give me one if I asked.
