😆😆 thank you, I didn’t know if I was being selfish or wrong for thinking that it was not nice of her to say it!thank you so much for your advice and I will try to do that and try give it up because it’s such a nasty habit, good on you for kicking it, it’s so much better for getting advice from someone who gets it rather than someone who thinks they know better!
*In my experience*, this is a very normal Christian experience. Theyre SO judgemental if you dont follow what they think you should be doing whether its the best for you or not. Thats why i got out of church.
I'm sorry that you're struggling with this and that this woman was unkind. God convicts us when we're doing wrong, but he doesn't condemn us to shame. God knows your heart. You're new to your Christian walk, so you might think everyone is leaps and bounds ahead of you, but you will realize that is far from true as you go deeper into the word in your journey. You will realize that you have to ask God for discernment regarding who are really His people. Many call themselves Christian, but show no fruit of the spirit. Always remember that Jesus was hurt by "religious" people, too. This will always happen, but that's why we put our faith in God and not in man. I pray you stay encouraged and continue seeking God. We ALL fall short, but He never leaves us and He never forsakes us. ❤️❤️❤️
You got this. You’re doing your best. 💕 Don’t give up
Also, congratulations on kicking your drug problem. That shit is no joke and you are a badass with lots of willpower to be able to say you used to have one.
How dare she! Don’t let her comments get to you, keep trying to kick the addiction, I personally know how hard it is and I’ve moved to vapes instead but trying to stop those too. I’m sure you’re an excellent mother 🩷
Oh wow lady, thanks for the helpful perspective 🙄 It’s people like her who turn people off on Christianity. It’s one thing if she had some helpful advice for quitting but for her to shame you for something you’ve just said you knew wasn’t ideal and that it was something you were working on is so uncalled for and rude. I quit smoking (vaping) by giving myself a cut off time everyday and rolling it back an hour at a time. Like no hits after 8pm, then the next day none after 7pm, etc until I was considering waking up earlier to vape then I knew it was over 😅 it really helped me get out of the habit and step down without it seeming overwhelming and curbed most of the withdrawals. I was addicted to nicotine from 13-32 but have been clean for a little over a year now 🤗 still have a craving now and then but they pass pretty quickly. You can do it too!
