Getting There

Posted by girlie on January 28, 2009

I have not puffed a cigarette for 10 days now. It’s hard I tell you, I still crave so bad. I have to fight it, and by God’s grace I am able to do it. I know this is wrong but I kinda made a bargain with the Lord. You see, I had a helper who had tuberculosis and we didn’t know. No signs pointed that she had one until the day she vomitted blood. I sent her immediately to the doctor and have her checked, indeed she was diagnosed to have one. To be sure that none of us got it, we had chest xray. While waiting for the results, that’s when I said, Lord I will quit smoking if everything is ok with me. I know, I know this is sooo wrong, but you can’t blame me, I was sooo scared. I have growing kids and I still want to hug and kiss them. That is actually the story behind how I was able to hang on. Today I have been tempted to smoke, but instead of doing it, I just opted for my ever trusted Moniegold, the chewy tamarind candy who has been with me since the day I decided to quit smoking.
