WENDY M. REIN with contributions from DAVID A. REIN

The knowledge that God is all-powerful, solely loving, and ever governing and cherishing man freed me from tobacco. The habit, which I had tried to conquer off and on for over a decade, just fell away during my first glorious reading of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The book helped me become more aware of my spiritual selfhood as God's pure child, and the enslaving habit yielded naturally to Truth's law.

Mrs. Eddy has ordained the Bible and Science and Health to be the only pastor of the Church of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world (see Miscellaneous Writings by Mrs. Eddy, pp. 313-314). These books form the basis of the Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly. And every lesson, studied over the course of a week, offers wonderful healing insights to the student.

Shortly after I began regular study of these lessons, I gained another freedom. I realized that we can naturally feel at peace, friendly, and relaxed without the use of artificial stimulants. Also, that the strength to resist whatever is ungodlike is native to each of us, as it is derived from our Father-Mother God. This enabled me to see that I had no further desire for alcohol. In fact, both my husband and I stopped all alcoholic drinking with joy!
