If you can find a little space in your long list it would be great if you could say a little prayer for my sweetie who is once again waging the battle to drop tobacco. She really needs to beat it this time. Thanks.

You got it, Jay.



**My dad smoked for 40 years before quitting (after heart surgery) and I watched him struggle several times over the years trying to quit. It is tough......prayers going out.

Will do, Jay.

Like Peg, my Dad managed to quit - the day before he went into the hospital to have a lung removed for lung cancer. It is hard to do, but she will get it done.

Quitting is easy...staying quit is hard.  I was still having occasional cravings 2 years after I quit.

She's on the list.   :D

I quit again on the 23rd of last month. Maybe both of us can beat it this time. I had quit for 3 years and picked it back up 7 months ago.

Five years this August Jay!  Circumstances were different for me but it can be done and she'll feel so much better afterward!

Prayers are sent!

I've read that giving up nicotine is tougher than kicking heroin.  However, I'm confident that with your love and support, and the prayerful support of our little "family", she'll make it.

Consider her added to the list.

Done and good luck to her. Tough stuff.

My wife quit when we got married. Cold turkey. She finished her pack and never bought anymore. I wish I could bottle whatever resolve she had. She just mentioned yesterday, after talking to a smoker, that she never really knew what she had smelled like when she smoked and that she was surprised no one ever said something.

Even after debilitating surgery to remove smoking-related bladder cancer, her father still can't quit and I think he's just given up now.
