Smokers
Duane:
I QUIT smoking the easy way! I had a stroke that paralyzed the whole left side of my body! After months in rehab in the hospital with no cigarettes--the desire was GONE!
B-U-T, if I took just ONE PUFF of a cigarette --I would be back in the habit STRONGER THAN BEFORE!
Once earlier I successsfully quit in two weeks and completely quit until i thought I could "just have one cigarette with my wife"! (see above!!) I did it by taking a full ashtray of ashes and adding water until it became a "paste" and set it in the middle of the dining room table. As I ate I looked at that disgusting sludge and pictured it being in my LUNGS!
Then, I VOWED to myself that before I had my next cigarette I would during the sludge! I QUIT!!!!
Then my wife returned from 3 weeks in California and I was relaxed and (see above, above!) Heavier than before --then the STROKE ended it PERMANENTLY and I know Better now!! (tho I can't say I NEVER get the "urge/temptation!)
Hope this helps--sludge-eater! :-)
In Christ,
Duane
P.S. MAN is God's ONLY creature --that spends half of his life-- developing HABITS that SHORTEN the other half!! Selah!

Yesterday I hit 100 days of no tobacco or nicotine! It can be done!
doug:
Why would any body want to have their lungs look like this?? And all the other damage it causes to your body?
I tried it once.... when I was 12 years old.... I had an early morning paper route (4:00 am) and smoked a cigar. Don't know how or where I got it but I didn't know that one wasn't supposed to inhale the smoke. I remember I got so sick that I could hardly ride my bike home and when I got there I crashed into my front lawn and threw up for about a half hour. Don't think I ever went to school that day either!
That event cured me for life. Along with seeing what my fellow boot camp marines had to endure when they were caught smoking.... had to put a water pail over their heads and smoke a whole pack at once without using their hands.... just seeing that made me want to die....
Gina:
That picture doesn't scare me one bit. ::) That does nothing to set this captive free.
But thanks anyway, Doug. Can't say you didn't try!

" Tobacco is the passion of the honest and upright man. The man who doesn`t enjoy tobacco hasn`t deserved to live" -- Moliere.
Of course when I do quit myself, I will distance myself to the above quote.
Thats how my carnal mind works, but until then, Moliere is my kind of guy.
