Hi everyone,
I'm asking for prayers for my struggle with smoking.
i have just run out and i am trying hard to lean on GOD
although i can afford to buy more im trying not to.

this has been a constant battle and i usually fall back into it
disappointing people and dealing with pressure from people
who are holding me accountable.

all prayers are welcomed and appreciated
thanks in advance,
Waynos
 
The health insurance company i work for provides anti-smoking kits to folks that ask for one for free. They have "wellness" fairs in the community as well and try to promote healthy lifestyles and stuff like that. You should ask some of the companies in your area. There may be some free resources available to you.
 
We are with this Fellowship through Faith that you will see what is no longer needed in this life. My Dad, died from lung cancer, much sooner then he could have... I remember the times when he smoked Luck Strike & Winston.... oh well... I was around him a lot, as was/were my Sister (died at 56 - cancer) brothers who one had to have some surgeries due to 2nd-hand smoke; 1st, do it for that guy you see in the mirror... Family too!

Love & praying for you!
 
Waynos - I too smoked many years ago and I understand what you're going through. I will definitely be praying for you in the spirit of Matthew 26:41. Ephesians 3:20 and Hebrews 4:16 are very encouraging as well. Blessings, brother.
 
Thanks everyone for your prayers.

what is making it hard is i just can't get past James 4:17
almost like GOD is reminding me what i'm doing is wrong (and he is right)

tried insurance places they charge more for anti-smoking supplies than Walmart and i just cant afford that.

will keep everyone updated..i know i need to quit and i keep telling myself "after i finish the ones i bought i'll stop"
brings me to realize "a man's righteousness is as filthy rags" and i am no more than a chief of lies.
making promises to me,GOD and my family that i always seem to break.
it is so discouraging

it is hard to believe i was able to quit drinking and doing drugs 8 years ago and yet smoking has such a stranglehold on me
 
Try doing it 5 mins at a time. Don't try to do it by forcing yourself to think of one big chunk of hard stuff to do. Go 5 mins without, take a deep breath, Praise God for that 5 mins, then tackle the next 5 mins. That is how I finally quit a 3 pack a day habit cold turkey. Praying fer ya. In the Holy Spirit's strength it is possible.
