Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Wanda I work with someone that was a smoker that quit so if that is something you worry about...try not to. Yes, YOU can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens you. When things get a little hard, lean on those exact words and allow your faith to carry you through. Hopefully is reading and will chime in and offer you some advice on how she did it. She smoked for many years...I am not sure but it was something close to 20 years and when she stopped it was almost like cold turkey. So , if you read, please chime in at anytime. Be encouraged Wanda.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Wanda, I do understand as once upon a time I smoked. I just got tired of it. I got tired of smelling like smoke and one day I just decided that I was no longer going to do it. As a matter of fact, I did not want to do it. That is what helped me just quit. So, do I know how hard it is...yes. I watched my 60 year old father (step father) die from emphazema (spelling) and so even with knowing he was dying, he could not stop. I mean right at the end, he had to because of the oxygen so I do know how hard it is. Its like any addiction, you have to be ready to quit and not stop. When you are ready to quit, you will. I wish you well Wanda and never give up. You can do this. Many have gone before you and you and so I know you can do it. Just believe that you can. You are definitely not alone.
