One More Month
In one more month I will hit the two year anniversary of my quit smoking date. It has been, according to my quit counter, One Year, Ten Months, Twenty Six Days, 23 Hours and 21 Minutes since I put out my last cigarette and I am still trying to get my head around how easy it has been. Giving up smoking may not seem like a miracle to others but, deep down in my very soul, I know for certain God did this for me and words cannot express how loved it makes me feel! I have smoked since I was 14 years old and, by the time I quit,…
Six Months Since God Set Me Free
In three more days it will be six months since I quit smoking! When I asked for you to pray for me I had no idea your prayers would be so powerful! On June 24 of 2014 God set me free from the addiction to nicotine and I have not looked back. I’ve always said nothing would get me off the smokes apart from a miracle and I have to say – I got my miracle – Praise God. After I wrote my last entry I spent time trying to ready myself for the struggle. I went over all the reasons I wanted to quit, I joined a quit coach,…
QS – Week One
It is now one week since I had my last dose of nicotine. In another two hours it will be one week and one day to be precise and I feel sort of disorientated! It’s like I am living in a dream. I thought I would have to be at deaths door before I’d be able to quit smoking so finding myself a non-smoker now is really doing my head in. I keep wondering when I’m going to wake up! All these years I believed quitting smoking would be a major event filled with struggle, self-sacrifice, and trauma and I was so afraid of all that I wouldn’t even try.…
QS – Days One And Two
I’m sitting here munching on baby food! “Heinz Little Kids fruit & veg shredz” to be specific. Little straps of fruit that are perfect for sucking on or chewing and there are enough of them in a packet to keep my hands busy eating them. I chose them because I figured they shouldn’t be fattening or full of sugar and crap if they are for babies and I’m glad I got them. I also tried baby food fruit fingers but they are not nice so I won’t buy them again. I didn’t go into this decision to quit smoking lightly or unprepared! In my bathroom there are nicotine patches and…
It’s Time To Quit.
I got a note a couple of years ago asking me about something I’ve been wrestling with ever since I became a born-again Christian 37 years ago. It was a fair question but I didn’t have a good answer for it at the time. The note said… “You appear to have a very great love for Jesus and God and I’m wondering just how you as a smoker, and your opinions on that, gel with Christians being the Temples of the Holy Spirit.” My smoking habit has been an issue since I first gave my life to God. Within a few months of being born again I was told that…
