Spreading Joy.... need some?
I had it bad, or should I say,
IT
had me bad.
I can't recall when
IT
started running the show.

In the beginning
IT and I were cool.
didn't matter if we hung around the house
Or chilled having lunch with the girls.
We were inseparable.

family and friends could see

IT was getting the best of me.
repeatedly tried to convince me
leave
IT alone. But...as I said,
we were inseparable, we didn't
care what anyone said.

Something strange occurred one day
I went out and forgot
IT.
IT
didn't like that too much
nor was I feeling too good
without
IT.
I ran back home for
IT

Thats when I realized
IT had me.
IT finally possessed me.
Had me believing I couldn't make it
without
IT.
had to have
IT in the morning
had to have
IT after every meal
had to have
ITduring breaktime
couldn't go to bed without
IT.

If it came between
IT and food
food would loose to
IT....
Used to feel bad if I didn't have
IT,
now I was feeling bad because of
IT.

Struggled and tried many times
to single handedly free myself from
IT.
Putting up a good fight
but always losing the battle.

One frightening night the battle
was overwhelming
I labored gasping for air
which didn't seem to be there

I prayed to God, Please help me.
I have tried desperately to free myself.

IT
is too strong.
The alluring scent and taste
overpowers me dragging me
back to
IT time after time.

I need the strength of YOU
to deliver me.
Tonight I put my faith in YOU

IT
possesses me no more.
I claim the VICTORY!


A testimony. God delivered me from my addiction to cigarettes
