Thanks for sharing that, I once went to an event called Flourish, it was a "college service concert thing" and it was pretty great. The special guest who was a Christian radio host said to us that she was once an alcoholic, and that she enjoy talking about the bible and being a Christian but she enjoyed drinking alcohol too. There was a day when God came to her and told her that he loves her so much, but he cannot use her like this, and ever since that day, she has not had a drink of alcohol. I would suggest that you could probably try to fast from nicotine for a while and try to hear God while not using. Prayer to God to deliver you from the nicotine is also a good one, and just listening to God whenever you can is also good. God can deliver you and take you out of whatever situation that you could possibly be in, you just have to be willing to want to do it. I understand that you said that you were not serious, but your health is pretty important, and I just feel that God and your fellow brothers and sisters just want the best for you, and we want you to see that for yourself as well. So whenever your ready, you can probably try those things that I listed as well as other options that you may feel is great for you. Thanks for your post once again, God bless!

I was not serious but that was over 4 1/2 years ago when I wrote the OP. I am still an addict but now I am serious about quitting. I will consider that fasting idea you had. I can say to myself, "I am still an addict but I chose not to smoke, today" and leave it at that. Take each day one day at a time. It's not like I am quitting as I still have the option whether to have a smoke fast the next day but during the fast day no smoking. Yeah, I am going to ponder that. Thank you for your contribution.

I can understand about the alcohol reference too. When I was younger I got wasted a few times but by the grace of God never got a DUI. I was not a problem drinker but rather a social drinker who occasionally got carried away. My older brother was an alcoholic and still is today. I didn't want to end up like him so in 1992 I decided not to drink anymore. Please understand though, I used to love alcohol but each day I decide that is an activity I am not going to do. For me, it was one of those childish things that Paul mentioned in the bible that you do as a child but when you are a man you put those things away. I have to apply the same concept to smoking. I love to smoke but I am not going to smoke, today. It will be a fast each day. Time to put that childish thing away while there is still time to mitigate the damage I have caused to my body from years of abuse. I will always be a nicotine addict the rest of my life but that doesn't mean that I have to remain a slave to it. I thank God that I'm not an alcoholic too.
