praise report: still smoke free
Over the weekend, we went to a few peoples house for cookouts, and on the fourth we were invited over by a friend. His neighbor invited us to play spades. Anyone who knows me knows I love spades. Anyway everyone at the neighbors house smoked cigarettes. This is the first time I had been around that kind of smokin and drinkin since I quit. Before Jan 5th i would have been lighting up with them.
But I am pleased to report that no matter how tempting it was I remembered I asked God to deliever me from the addiction, and I resisted the urge. I went outside several time sto get some fresh air until i couldnt take it anymore and left for good.
long story short is I have been quit for 6 Months, 1 Day, 8 hours, 58 minutes and 34 seconds (182 days). I have saved $957.45 by not smoking 5,471 cigarettes. I have saved 2 Weeks, 4 Days, 23 hours and 55 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 1/5/2006 2:30 AM
and I thought I would share that with you.
My former Pastor in New York, Rev Rouse used to say how can you tell you are growing spiritually? When you go to the place you use to go and are around the things you used to do and feel uncomfortable. Well this was one of the first times I really felt that way, which I take as a sign I have grown a little more spiritually.
Thank You for letting me share that with you today and continue to pray for your brother.
As always I pray all who read this have a blessed and spiritually rewarding day.

AMEN! To God be the glory! I look forward to the next report, when all of this is doubled (6 months from now). You will continue to be a LIVING testimony of what God can do. Continue to be blessed.

I encourage you to continue the challenge. Remember it’s only a test. The results are long lasting.

AJ,
Continue to conquer cigarettes one day at a time. The money savings alone should be a great motivator. As one who has been there, I know what you're going through. It can be done. I smoked for 12 years & I have been "free" from the nicotine devil for 31 years. Hang in there!!
IKE
Praise God!!!
Keep up the good work and faith.
