I’ve been trying to quit smoking for a while now. Today I bought a pack of cigarettes. Please pray that I quit smoking and direct me to an advice forum.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

If I can do it, you can do it. Be aware, nervous addictions don’t disappear, they resurface.

I know a guy who is addicted to nicotine gum.

I’m not one to pray-my apologies. However, yes, you need to quit. Trust. You don’t want someone like me looking down at you in a hospital bed on a ventilator 20+ years from now.

Here are some sites that offer advice:

aarc.org/resources/tobacco/index.asp

You WANT to quit. THAT’S GREAT!!! That’s the first step…now, you want to talk to your primary care doc, see if they can help with your plan to quit-there are aids to help you get over the initial withdraw-medicine, patches, etc.

I do believe some are covered by health insurance plans…they WANT you to quit, too…they don’t want to have to pay for your COPD down the line, believe you me…
Also, a lot of hospitals offer free support groups for people who are trying to quit smoking…check them out! Hey, you can get help for your addiction from like minded people, and make some new friends!!

Good luck to you!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Lord give Raymond strength to do all that is wholesome and good
 
Lord, please help Raymond to be centered on you so no unwholesome habit will be a part of his life. May he trust in you and read the Bible whenever he wants to light up a cigarette. Help him to give his whole life over to you so he will be able to quit smoking. May he find a good addictions counselor to help him. May he get a spiritual director to help him, too. He’ll be much better off with an addictions counselor and a holy spiritual director. May he pray every day and receive the sacraments frequently. Bless Raymond and help him to be abandoned to your merciful love. Help him to deny his self-will. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
 
thank you everyone. I’ve been finding that praying the our father then ten hail marys help curve the cravings.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Hey…whatever works…have you been able to talk to your doc about your desire to quit?
There is help out there, really. Don’t know how you feel about the patch or Zyban/Chantix, but some people say they help…however…both meds have black box warnings…they can seriously alter your mood, cause you to become suicidal. Eek, not good.
In any event…good luck to you…hang in there, you can do it. You will notice positive effects pretty much right away:)
