• 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.

The smokers think that it is very hard to stop the smoking immediately.And with that excuse they simply gives the idea to stop the smoking.But the people who stopped the smoking are saying that at the beginning stage it seems to me very difficult,but instead of stopping suddenly it is better to stop day by day.

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

Lungs weren`t designed for smoke inhallation so I recommend halting the damage, ceasing immediately but some may need nicotine replacement therapy. The patch didn`t work for me but nicotine gum did. And it can be bought for about half the price on Ebay. The gum gives you what you are addicted to without the smoke damage. You can chew when you have a craving up to a certain number of pieces per day then reduce your daily dose weekly or bi-weekly. If you reduce gradually and stop when you are down to chewing just a piece or two a day there typcially isn`t any big crisis created upon ceasation of the gum. If anyone wants further assistance feel free to PM me.

Hey, you want to die before your time, lose all quality of life, and spend your last years wheeling around an oxygen tank? Do you want to hack junk up into tissues all day? And this is assuming you are lucky enough to avoid lung cancer. This one is doable people. Stop putting smoke in your lungs today.
