I know you can do it.....aside from the church stuff just think about your health and your kids and loved ones and that you will be around a lot longer with good health.  Lungs can actually repair and regrow, did you know that?  You are still young and can reverse any negative health effects that may have occured, it's pretty cool.  It may not be easy, but you can do anything you put your mind to. 

 

thanks, Grant! 

Having done this myself... I wish you great strength, the wisdom to know when to call out to God for help overcoming the urges (cause you are going to need HIM a lot)... and for those around you, the patience that they need to overcome you being a grouch:-)

Its a tough road, I know. If you have kicked any other chemical addictions thiugh, at least you know how to attack it. It may take some time and you HAVE TO attach pain to your actions as a tool to help you stop. Every time you feel the urge to pound in another nail ( I know you understand that phrase) or grab that cup of joe... just think about how much control it has over you and how much better it would be to be free of it.

My prayers are with you,

Grant
