For the past several days, I have surprisingly found myself wanting a cigarette. What’s up with that?!? It has been two years and three months since I stopped smoking and it’s certainly not a habit that I will ever pick up again. The whole time that I smoked, I absolutely hated that I was a smoker. When I first wanted to quit, I tried everything! But my lack in will power made all of my attempts unsuccessful. I finally just had to pray. God eventually answered my prayer and gave me the strength to quit cold turkey. He didn’t take the cigarettes away from me; He took me away from the cigarettes! And He did it in such a way that made me never want to touch one again. I know for sure that I’m done! I love too much the fact that I have more energy, my hair, hands, and mouth don’t smell like an ashtray, and I’m ultimately healthier. I guess these past few days have been just a test because the more that I want a cigarette, the more I see people smoking. I’m so grateful that I was able to lose such a disgusting habit and I’m no longer controlled by a little stick of tobacco. Now that I’m done writing this…I believe I’ve passed the test!
