I used to pray for God to deliver me from my smoking addiction, and I would always wonder why He seemed to not be listening.
I used to promise Him on oath, that I would stop the next day - thinking that smoking was somehow sinful and I needed to repent of it. The battle with this addiction raged for 2 decades!
and now....
It's been just over 2 1/2 years since I stopped smoking and I'm still excited with each smokeless day that passes!
One would think that after all this time, I wouldn't give smoking or not smoking even a passing thought...but I do. I still have moments where I am tempted to have one, and I have moments where I give my head a shake in amazement that I no longer smoke.
