Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for yourself. It is your passageway to better health and a healthier life. It can reduce risks of a number of minor and major health problems of the lungs, heart, and so on. But there are many who find it very difficult to quit due to the addictive nature of nicotine. Along with cessation programs and products to help you quit smoking for good, the most important thing that you need is a strong reason to quit.
How faith could help you quit smoking
Among many other reasons that can help you stick to your decision to quit, faith could possibly be one of the most important and strongest ones. Faith could be on God or even your own self. Whatever it is that you have faith on, it can give you a very strong drive that is essential for quitting. Without faith, even the strongest of reasons might not work well.
Faith in God: God and religion are the two most powerful forces in the world as of today. If you are a believer, then it is safe to assume that you have absolute faith in your God. If you are unsure about yourself and sticking to your decision to quit, your faith can come to your rescue. You can put complete faith in God and ask His help in quitting and staying quit for good. If you have absolute faith, you will be able to get that drive and motivation that you need to quit.
Faith in yourself: Whether or not you are a believer, there is another factor that is almost equally important when to decide to kick the butt. This other factor is belief and faith in yourself. If you believe that you can quit and that you have the ability to stay quit for good, then no one and nothing can stop you from doing so. It is all in the mind — if you think you can successfully quit and stay that way, you surely will.
Quitting is something that many smokers wish to achieve. Whatever may be the reason you choose for quitting, make sure that it is strong enough to keep you going through the rough times. If you have even one such reason, there will be no obstacles in your path to a smoke-free life.

Hi, i need to tell you something, i gave up smoking like 2 weeks ago, COLD TURKEY BUT WITH GOD’S HELP, i don’t know if you believe but i’ve been trying to give up smoking for 13 years maybe more with no success, the last 2 years i’ve started praying to God for help and one day after talking to my granddaughter on the phone i had this thought to give up smoking, i wasn’t panicking like before. I finished the ciggies i’ve had i bought 1 more packet and on saturday night at 8.20 i’ve had my last one. I don’t want, i don’t crave, i just miss doing something with my hands, i never wanted to go and buy, but every nith i pray to Jesus to keep me strong. I know it’s not me that is strong but i’m the one with the profit eh? I love God and everything he’s doing for us ..if you outthere want to give up PRAY like there’s no tomorrow and pray from the heart and He’ll help..
