Hi i am new here but i am a long time believer, i know the word and the laws which only makes my addictions and sins worst. I have a problem smoking weed i smoke everyday and i resent it @ first it was fun now it just seems like something i cant stop doing, ive talked to plenty of people about this and no one believe theres a prob with me doing it but me, even some christian ive talked to dont believe theres a prob. I notice that me smoking is my key to the rest of my sins my lust , and lies etc. When im living righteous everything seems to go right but im constantley surronded by darkness, than it get to the point where my flame extinguishes and i am a shadow again. Which bring me to y im here to be surrounded by more light.
 
Good move, dear one, beloved of the Father! drawing near to God, and to other members of the family, is always good! :)

I think you recognizing the problem is a great first step. Only the Lord can change this in you, but the good news is He is certainly able, and oh, so willing!

When I've had things like this to overcome, I've found "cold turkey" to be the only way. Get rid of whatever is leading you into a bad lifestyle--all of it. Stay away from people/situations that would tempt you. After all, it's pretty silly to pray "lead us not into temptation" and then do it myself!

I don't mean to imply it will be easy, but God will enable us to withstand any temptation.
" No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you! I believe it's all about getting close to the Lord and staying there.
I will surely be praying for you! ~ellie
 
I will pray for you. God will give you the power to quit smoking. Trust in the blood of Jesus for forgiveness of your sins. God will forgive you.
 
Well today's a new one so i guess day one of not smoking so ill just pray to GOD for strength ive done this b4 but i always seem to fall short, so lord plz be with me
 
That's the way Cloc! Take it to Jesus, ask Him to fill you with The Holy Spirit, and give you the power to resist that stuff. And if you don't want to quit, deep down inside, confess that to Him as well. He already knows it anyway.

Brother, it looks like you are in slavery to this. Anytime we are enslaved it will bring darkness.

I think you will need outside help to overcome this addiction...do you have a church pastor you can go to? Or a 12-step group nearby? Having accountibility to a person or people probably would help.

Here is an interesting website for addictions...this link goes directly to the free New Wine course (drugs and alcohol)

http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/courses/new-wine/

Praying for strength and guidance for you :)

God wants you to have 'abundant life' ...not a medicated one :)
 
dude best take it one day at a time, or setting up small goals for yourself and then following through, for example:

today i will avoid whatever for the entire day and instead i will do bla bla bla.

by the next day you can continue challenging yourself and you can step up more and more and with prayer and Jesus helping you can do it, just gotta work for it
 
Well, pretty much what Ellie said... But welcome to CC! This site is a great way to divert you from sinning. Continue to spend time here and we will help as much as we can ^_^ I'll be praying for you <3
God Bless!

Thank u my brothers and sisters for the welcoming, well some time has passed i didnt do so great but im not afraid to testify my down falls. Over this short amount time the lord hasspoke to me many times and showed me many things, i asked for deliverence from smoking and GOD has given me just that although not complete free yet i feel the time is coming. The taste of smoke discuss me and it seems like it starting to affect my breathing if thats not a reason to stop i dont know what is, "ask and u shall recieve". Thank you LORD 4 ur unfailling love
 
Pray for the strength to overcome this temptation.

Repent and accept Salvation by dying to self and living for Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

We all have temptations of the flesh and need strength love and guidance and guess what the good news is:

You can be set free from this by seeking the truth, so Repent of all sins and be guided away from this out of the darkness.


Love thy Yahvah God with all your heart and soul accept Yahshua the Messiah into your heart today he knocked, all you have to do is open the door and welcome him in.


Peace and Blessing always in the name of Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.
 
fight like your life depended on it to get away from weed and people who smoke weed, tried being a Christian with one foot in the world, and after slow decending life of drugs and alcohol (starting with weed) My whole life was wasted, from the age of 16 to 36 the best years of my life were wasted by addiction and immorality. If your at the point where you don't seem to have a choice get help! It only gets worse with heavier drugs and greater addictions. the whole drug scene is a lie from the pit of hell, it promises a good time and an escape, but it ends in self destruction and anything but a good time
 
^ Yeah i realized and am realizing that i started in 06 it was jusy a social thing than but than i began doing it on my own which later became an addiction and the very friends who got me to start have stopped and now im looking like the dummy, the last time i smoked was sunday but just trying to push forward in JESUS name i know it will be a struggle but thats what i have u guys for ;-)
