YAY JB!!

BOOO Cigs!!!

hopefully i can get Chris to stop w his marlboro reds as soon as his insurance card comes

I kicked a 25 year pack-a-day habit (Marlboro's) cold turkey!!!!  After the first 3 days, it's all in your head!  Don't get sucked into the hype of "what a hard addiction it is to quit" by the mfg's of inconsequential garbage they wanna' pimp you for! 

 

Quitting and staying clean is a mind game and if you're playing to win, "it ain't nothin' but a step for a stepper"!!!  You got this!!

Way to go Joseph!!  Definately I will keep you in prayer!

 

My husband had quite five years ago, for what I thought to be a year and a half. Only six months of it was sneaking around. Sneaking was not good, he was the most angriest, violent, ugliest I have seen him.  The kids have tried to get him to quit again, My son begs him, tells him we will help him. (he worrys about how stressed he will be).  It' sinteresting though, because Five years ago, he did not have the relationship with God that he has now. 

 

We don't do alot of kissing, passionate kissing. cause the taste is a trigger for me. (my dad having been a smoker, thats what I got when he kissed me). And hubby hates it and all. But it's not enough for him to quit. 

 

He had cut back recently, like in half, cause of money. Then got the 500 a month raise, and said, I can go buy cigarettes now. I was like, MAYBE God blessed us with this money, because we were making choices he wants us to be making.  That didn't fase him I guess. 

 

When we first got together his mom was sick with lung cancer, and it wasn't too long after that she passed away. He has 8 siblings so it was a huge gathering of kids and grandkids. I was there. It was the most aweful thing I have ever seen.  And just don't want me and the kids to ever go through that. 

 

I don't fight with him though, it's his battle, and it's between him and GOd, sometimes I get irritated having to wait for him to smoke, just to go into the movie theatre or something. But mostly I don't say anything. But will when I see him smoke like 3 in a very short period of time.

 

Maybe I should set my husband up with a mindsay, lol  You are so enouraging! Maybe he could be inspired by your strength and perseverance.

keep kickin' butt and taking names.

it's inspiring how much you put your mind to things and get them done. 

Good for you, Patrick! I know  you will do this through Christ who strengthens you, and you will do it all the way.  You have been grumpy and irritable, and downright craving through the drugs and alcohol, and if you can let them go, you can also do this.

But don't worry; as usual, we will lift you up in prayer.
We love you.
