Resist the devil and he will flee. Draw closer to God and He will draw closer to you. (James 4:7-8) My advice to you is to surround yourself with good company. Bad company corrupts good morals, and as long as you let them offer that to you, your defense will start going down. Resist any of it and don't let anyone try to convince you into starting it, start hanging out with good Christian friends who can help you out in your walk. God bless

GREAT ANSWERD
 
.......having spent 8 years pre salvation drinking quite a bit, which resulted in phantom liver pains (scared me loads and led me closer to God, praise the Lord!!) I can say resist and flee.

From experience, it was hard for me to say no to going out drinking and clubbing at first, but God helped me and honoured my decision.......put your trust in Him, you will not be put to shame.
Not to say it was always easy........but I was surprised how the majority of people respected me for saying no, and didn't give me a hard time.......

If you don't drink I'll give you longer life. If you don't smoke you'll have lungs that aren't caked with tar. How's that for incentive?? :cool:

Next time they offer you a cigarette slug them in the gut, and say, "This is what it would feel like for me to smoke."
 
Love to you Amanda...

(just adding to these great posts)

Hey, why don't you start putting it back on them. Like "Sooo when are you guys going to quit?" and " Sheila I'm just so beautiful I'm moving on," and so on.

When you make a joke of it, they'll see you're strong.

And if you put out words before you, you'll just follow right along, maybe even help them too.

Lotsa love, S.
