Breath of Life Testimony: Doug

I began smoking when I was 20 and smoked for 14 years. I tried to quit several times and could never stay quit. I tried patches, gum, patches again. On my own, I could not do it. Not only was smoking a part of my life that I refused to surrender to God, but it was also a barrier between God and me and with that barrier in place, it was easy for me to sin more and more until for all practical purposes, I had no real relationship with God. One day I found Setting Capitves Free and it was just what I needed. I signed up and I threw away my cigarettes the first day. I enrolled because it was a stop-smoking method that I hadnt tried before. After the first few lessons God began to work in my life. Not only was I not smoking, but I was hungering for Gods word. The lessons were great and I looked forward to doing them every day. I also received encouraging emails from my Mentor almost every day. For so many years, my life was full of sin. After enrolling in this course and repenting and seeking Gods forgiveness for smoking and all of my sins, I began to have a joyful and rewarding christian life. I began having daily devotions. I began spending time praying every day. After two months, I am not smoking and I no longer desire to. My need for smoking has been replaced with a need to spend time with God. I came here looking for help quitting smoking and I found that, but I also found myself reunited with my Lord. Praise God!
