Healed of smoking habit

Claire Wilmot

A testimony I heard recently at The Mother Church’s online Wednesday meeting by someone who’d been healed of smoking reminded me of my own healing of the smoking habit more than 25 years ago. 

I had started smoking as a teenager—it seemed the “cool” thing to do. Around this time, my mum found Christian Science, and for a year or so I attended Sunday School, where I also met the young man I eventually married. But at that point, I didn’t make Christian Science my own and drifted away from what I’d been learning.

Some years after I was married, I returned to the teachings of Christian Science and felt a strong desire to be free of smoking. I prayed about it spasmodically, but initially my approach was more a matter of willpower than committing myself to steadfast prayer. I would stop smoking for a while, but then would relapse and start all over again.
