When I wake up tomorrow, I will no longer be a cigarette smoker. Please pray that God gives me the strength, because I'm on Chantix, the last thing I haven't tried.

Lord, bless Lynn and give her the physical and emotional strength to overcome
this addiction. Let her thoughts be occupied by something else and give her
your supernatural peace and calm.

I've quit smoking before and quit dipping snuff. Which chemically is much harder to quit than smoking. You can do this!!! What makes it so much easier is if you don't have thaf last cigarette of the night before bed. If you can hold off on that and go to sleep. When you wake up, it will be much easier to skip your morning cigarette. Also, chugging cold water first thing in the morning and every time you have a craving helps a ton.

Never mind. I'm smoking again. God didn't give me the strength. And I don't have it. I'm done trying.

So God did NOT give you His strength to quit smoking, but yet He DID give you His strength to keep going for over a year while John was sick??? Interesting.. Do you honestly believe that God takes his strength away from us, until the next time we face another trial? You've had God's strength all along, now use it. You CAN quit smoking.

You let your flesh overcome your spirit. Walk in the spirit. (Galatians 5:16 - So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the lusts of the flesh.)

God always gives a way out when we're tempted. (1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.)

Loose the craving. Get it off you. (Matthew 18:18 - Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.)

God's grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness. (Excerpt from 2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.")

This should help. :)

You can do this. Focus on why you're quitting. When i quit smoking i thought about how i was tired of being dependent on spending 6 dollars a day on cigs. Smelling like dog poop all the time. How my clothes and sheets smelled like smoke. Having to HAVE TO have a cig after i ate. Tired of getting sicks all the time, nicotine head aches, worrying about the unseen damage in my lungs, cigarette burns in my car. How my wife didnt want to be around me after smoking.

When i quit dipping i focused on how i could see visible damage to my teeth and gums, spending way too much money on it, tired, head aches, diarrhea all the time [ the laxative chemicals in tobacco products ]. I hated all the dip spit bottles spilling in my trucks, home, friends homes. Tobacco stuck in my teeth and finger nails, sneezing with dip in blowing it everywhere. Absolutely having to dip when i drive. The fact that even thought i quit i will be at a high risk dor cancer the rest of my life. Just like my uncle. And for goodness sake quit for the ppl that love you.

you're harming Gods temple. You can do this. You just have to want it. I will keep you in my prayers. Its tough. Its been a whole year since i quit dipping and im still hurting.

Tomorrow is another day. You can do it. You are a strong and smart person that has overcome a lot. Don't let that evil stick defeat and outsmart you. Try quitting cold turkey style no nicotine patches etc.

My grandmother tried for four years to stop, eventually she did but she started over so many times. You've been in my thoughts tho I haven't seen you around. I hope you try again when you are in a better frame of mind. Teddy bear hugs for encouragement.

Lynn,

you have made satan very happy by your words and actions, please re-consider
and make -
Jesus happy by giving something very precious to Him, yourself, wholly, completely,
faithfully, He can and will replace anyone's drug of choice, He has proved this to both
of us, all He asked was for us to Love Him First, above everything...

Yo, what happened to your avatar? The teddies are gone. *sob*
Teddies aren't gone. Those are the children of the teddies helping me bring in the herbs to dry for the winter. The one on the left is a cat named Tee. (Tee -- short for "Teddy." Named after his father.) The one on the right is a teddy bear named Ding. (His father is my main teddy -- Spaulding.)

This is what I used to do before writing a novel -- tell stories with photos of my stuffed animals and put them on "their" blog. And, now I have thousands of teddy bear pictures. lol

(I'm feeling better than I was feeling yesterday. Still bummed, but better.)

Yeah well Satan is pretty much an idiot, isn't he? God already won me. I can't be unwon.

I did. That was yesterday morning. I had three things going for me -- God, prayers, and Chantix.

The smart person in me knows every single reason why I should quit. I can't think of a single reason I shouldn't. And yet...

I am a strong person. I also fail. One thing I've learned in the last year is I really, really, really can't do anything without God strengthening me. If left to my strength alone, when hubby finally came home, he would have found my remains on my chair. I'm not superhuman. I have no strength apart from God.

GOD DID NOT GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO DO THIS! I have no idea why he didn't. Seems logical he would have. He's done it for so many others. Some, not even his kids. BUT he still loves me and takes care of me.
