So, for Lent, I decided that I wanted to quit smoking. Now, I can honestly say that I have been trying, but the urge and cravings are so strong sometimes. I do not want to try to quit anymore though, I want to just do it.
I have never been the type to use programs, patches, gums, etc. When I decided I wanted to quit, I just quit. I would put cigarettes down, and not pick them up for weeks or months later. But this time, it seems so hard for me & I don't know why.
Well, I think I know part of the reason why. I am trying to do the LORD'S WILL, and that means the devil is trying to stop me. Any Christian knows what I mean. So, I will continue to pray, trust in the Lord, have faith, and hope that others will pray for me that I can quit sooner rather than later.
By the way, I have done great with giving up sodas for Lent. I did not have a soda from the time I woke up
Wednesday morning until Sunday around lunch time. So, I only had sodas on Sunday, which is allowed, but I don't think I will have any this Sunday, because they did not taste the same as usual. In addition, I feel better not loading my diet down with sugary drinks and all that caffeine. I do still drink coffee occasionally (which makes me think I am going to fix a pot in just a minute), but I feel so much better without all the sugar. I now drink water, coffee, low calorie and sugar Gatorade, and zero calorie and sugar Powerade!
