Okay I need support & prayers...


Recommended Posts

I've finally decided to quit smoking. I've done it since I was 13, but I've seen what it's done to my family and I'm going to be done with it! I'd appreciate your prayers, as it is not easy to quit.

Two of my family members have died because of smoking (lung cancer and emphysema) and my dad has just suffered a heart attack from smoking & excessive stress. So here goes!

:D:

Good decision!- I will definately say a prayer for you.

Lots of prayers are coming your way from me! I can't imagine how hard that must be, but I'm proud of you for doing it! God bless

I quit smokign recently. I know you will get TONNES of advice, but what worked best for me was drinking water ALL THE TIME.. I was constantly drinking water.

And it helped that I got pregnant too, but I think that may not work for you ;)

Drinking water (lots of it) and sometimes chewing gum (though that can turn into a bad habit...) are great helps according to my dad (he quit when we started SCUBA diving). My dad also started eating a lot of hard candy (jolly ranchers, etc.) but I wouldn't recommend that cuz he got a few cavities!

Good Choice. :cool: smoking aint cool. Your in my prayers.

awwww.... prayers!

A girl as pretty as you shouldn't be smoking. It doesn't make sense. I'm not trying to say anything offensive or sarcastic. I just feel that smoking is unattractive. That shouldn't be your main reason. We are stewards of the temples of the Holy Spirit (our bodies) and need to take good care of them.

PRAYERS!!
My mom smoked from when she was 11-30. She went through major withdrawal when she quit, but now she's been smoke-free for almost ten years and she is so glad. I remember how hard it was for her, so hang in there and PERSEVERE! God bless!

Every time you want to smoke think about a dirty piece of old sponge that you cleaned the garage or basement floor with. You scrubbed and rubbed, it has holes in it, looks really gross, little pieces are shredding off.










THAT is what your lungs look like when you smoke.

exercise helps, I'm told. My Bro-in-law just recently had mild heart attack. It was because of his eating habits and stress. He said that every time that he felt stressed out he'd go to the gym or take a walk.

Good for you - your not an idiot… an idiot like all the smokers who looooooooove inhaling tar into their lungs …and all the extra bonus toxins that come with all that jazz
they talk in that sexy smoker voice ;) yaaaaaaaaaa...



Excuse me while I light this cigar...
