"On January 27, 2012 I went to youth convocation with my father and sister. Unexpectedly got baptized. There were SO many distractions but my heart was being pulled towards this decision. So I did it. I took the plunge.
When I finally got home I was itching to smoke a black and mild or cigarette! I couldn't wait. Finally I got in my car, began driving, and I took the black and mild out of my console. I opened the black and mild. I picked up the lighter and something happened.
I crumbled the black and mild in my hand and threw it along with the lighter out of the window. I couldn't explain how I felt, all I knew is I couldn't do it. I walked away from it, cold turkey. 1 hour turned into 1 day which turned into 1 week, 1 month, and then 1 year.....and those days have multiplied into 5 years. I didn't need a patch, no pill, no gum, just God!!
He has given me so much, He has rewarded me, and He has held my hand thru the process. I am so grateful because I know there are people that have been trying to quit for years and haven't been successful but I am here to tell you, with God anything is possible. With God you are strong, with God all things are made new!!"
