Jehovah's Witnesses, Will you please help me with my serious problem?I was raised as a witness but became inactive for many years.I have an extreme form of Bipolar and have had difficulty dealing with it. I am on numerous medications but will never be completely normal. I recently came back and attend meetings regularly. I have yet to progress to the point of commenting, ministry school and service. The reason being is that I can't stop smoking. I don't want to associate with anyone or be a hypocrite. I started smoking when I met my husband, he is a chain smoker and I always have complete access to cigarettes. I truly believe if I wasn't around it I could quit. So I'm wondering if one is truly repentant yet cannot stop a mental and physical addiction what can be done? I have no health insurance or money to buy smoking cessation medications. I have tried lozenges and gum but they make me sick. When I say repentant I mean daily depression, crying spells, hating myself for not having any control, suicidal thoughts (feeling there is no hope for me) and I used to pray incessantly but recently stopped because I don't feel he will listen to me since I can't meet him halfway. I'm afraid to tell the elders mostly because I'm practicing sin and even though I am repentant that is just not enough. And also what can they do to help me? Unless they can buy medication for me? I am desperate for help and advice. I'm too weak to do this on my own, I have tried many times. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
