The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is.
And all is well.

Just now got back into ex since the site change.  Have really missed this group and am glad to be back.

[deborah24]

never expected to find a group like this here. now i'm more excited then ever to become an ex. these are the same people ( chopra, dyer, etc.) that help me overcome my depression without using drugs so i have high hopes for their works ( and others ) to help me with becoming an ex-smoker.

This isn't exactly "wise words" but I am on my 5th day of not smoking and the two things I've found to really help me is:

First, nicoderm (for now)

Second, keeping busy. Cleaning my house or doing anything to keep my mind off of smoking. I know its the nicotin but its also the motion of smoking. I honestly am not quiting bc I don't like it, bc I enjoy it so much. Its because I need to for my health and my son.

I am happy to join this group.  I am starting a new life right now after a number of milestones.  What would any of you suggest as a spiritual gathering or church?  Maybe Unity?  I was hoping to find one closer to me than the unity here.  It is quite a ways away.
