Sorry I have failed!!!
Well, I had my first smoke today,then a while later I had another and so on and so forth. I have failed. I have let Satin in once again. It's all my fault to, not my husbands, I made it 5 day's without one. Please don't blame my Husband for my not quitting. This is my own battle. It is up to me and only me. I have to try that much harder. The thing is I don't know what it is going to take. Is it going to take myself getting cancer or my Husband getting cancer. I really don't know how to kick this nasty habit. That is what it is to a NASTY HABIT!!! I feel so bad because I know everyone has been praying over me about this. I thank you for trying. I guess Satin has got his one thing with me. I need to get it in my head that I will make it without a smoke. I have for five day's you would think that the hard part would be over. I feel so ashamed of myself for letting every one down, but most of all for letting Satin have his way with me. I need to trust in God for me to make it. It is just so hard to quit don't know what to say. I have no excuses. Sorry for letting everyone down. Love YA !!!

Welcome to my world!
Well, I guess it will take see Adam smoking to make you stop. That is what it took for me. Tonya was 2 and came up to me and ask Mommy why do you smoke do you want to get cancer and die? I quess at 2 she was smarter than me. Sometimes visulizing a cigg. in Adams mouth or cancer in his lungs might make you think. Love Aunt Sis
Maybe you are right. I don't know. I wish I did know. It's not that I dont want to quit. I just guess I need more will power, and I know that I am the only one who can decide when enough is enough. I just am haveing a very,very hard time. I don't want to start giving excuses because there is none. I am a product of my own mistakes. It isn't anyone's faut but my own. Satin, know's just where to get me. I just have to get the will power to say nomore Satin. That is where I an haveing my problem. On haveing that power over Satin, and trusting in the Lord. LOVE YA!
I can't offer inspiration just wanted to tell you, you aren't alone. I struggle with this one too. It seems so easy until a moment when the addiction just seems to take control agian. My sister in law gave me a Christian book that walks through a Christians womens struggle to quit, I haven't read but a few pages (out of fear) but so far it seems good. It is called Holy Smokes by Jean Flora Glick if you want to check it out. Good Luck...I'll pray for you.
Thank's loved truly. I wiil have to check out that book. Do you know where I could get it? Is it at A Chritian Bookstore? Thank"s again. I am open to any suggestions.
Well, I know how hard it is to quit. I admire each and every a attempt you make towards quiting. Allow me to share with you that I developed a medical problem that required the removal of have of my throat. Although I cannot prove it I believe it was caused by years of smoking.
I think I'm going to check out the book loved truly is talking about. Maybe that will hell me get over this battel I am haveing with Satin.I dont know what will help,but I will try anything.
Ole Girl, you are giving Satin way too much credit in this. You are a child of the King and you "can do all things through Him who gives you strength"! Don't believe for one second that satin has won this battle. He does tempt us and wants us to stumble but he has no power over us. You are "more than a conquerer" and you will beat this thing. Love ya, B4T
Thanks for the words of inspiration Doug. I just dont know how to quit. You know that I have tried,and tried. So what do I do? Just keep on praying for GOD to help me.This is the hardest thing that I have ever tried to give up. LOVE YA!
It has been said if first you don"t make it. get up and do it again. :->
My sister-in-law works at a christian book store in PA but it may be in some in MI also. Found it online too...

Want a quit partner let me know...we can write encouraging letters to each other...you'll understand if you get the book :)
I'm a firm believer in getting back up and dusting yourself off and getting back on the horse. There is no such thing as setbacks, only building blocks! Keep trying!
Satan has no power.
So true, Doug and Russ. Satan does have no power. It has been just over a year since I quit smoking. I quit in June 2004, fell off the wagon (by about a pack and a half in July) kept working at it, and through the grace of God, and His strength, have made it since then without one.
I am tempted frequently, but thanks be to God, He has brought me through.
I can offer you some medical advice as far as helpers to get through the cravings to start, but the final decision has to lie w/ you.
Don't give up
Don't give up. Try and try again, until there is no more trying and you are doing!!!!
You know a wonderful senior pastor told me when I was trying to quit that when I was ready to quit trying to stop smoking and decided to actually stop smoking to let him know. I did just that! Listen, if you are ready let's get a group of people together on Sunday at ministry time and pray over you about this. B4T
Doug, I know a good room for that....
I am very serious about this. So whatever I have to do, I will do . I am just so sorry thay I have let everyone down, even myself. I had already went five days.So, if you guys are still willing to help me I would be so thankful for the help that you are giveing.LOVE YA!
Hey Russ, I know just the room that you're talking about! That would be a great place to do some battle wouldn't it! B4T
I Will see you there!LOVE YA!
You should try Cigarrest. It helped me quit 17 years ago. It's really simple, their sulfur pills so that whenever you try to inhale a cigarette, it tastes and smells awful so it helps you stop thinking of cigarettes as pleasure. You can find them online if they don't sell it in your local drug store.
