God has delivered me from dependency on cigarettes. No one else to tell, so I’m telling you anons. Love you all. Glory to God. Praise Him for His faithfulness to us imperfect sinners.
Give it to God. Admit you don’t want to quit and if it were up to you, you’d happily enjoy and continue your habits. But humble yourself enough to ask God to do His will and not yours, whatever that means and by any means necessary. Admit that you aren’t strong or willing enough to do it in your own, but that you want to do God’s will regardless of your ability or base desires and instincts.
I gave my habit and addiction to God, and let Him work. In His time, not mine. But I genuinely asked God—If it were His will—to free me from cigarette addiction if it were His Will, even that meant poverty to keep me from affording them or disability to keep me from being capable of smoking them. And now, almost a year later, He has taken the addiction from me painlessly because He is merciful and good, despite my willingness to suffer being to offered and my unwillingness to purposefully subject myself to even the discomfort of quitting smoking shown in my heart and behavior.
It’s enough to pray to want to want deliverance, even if—being honest—you’re true desire is the thing you’re asking to be delivered from. It’s okay to admit it’s too difficult or you don’t want to stop something you know isn’t god’s will. It’s okay to ask God to be bigger than and victorious over your habits and desires.
My only advice is to ask God to do His will in your life and behavior while admitting you’ll fail in doing so it left to your own devices. I made a heartfelt prayer to this affect and then continued smoking, and God did His will regardless and freed me by changing my habits and desires without my effort.
And therefore the glory and victory goes to God. A victory over me, not through or because of me.
