I wish that every woman who is suffering from difficulties connected with change of life could read this testimony. After several months under Christian Science treatment I received a complete healing of these difficulties, along with such a glorious regeneration of character that I now consider those months as the most fruitful of my whole life.
I had attended The Mother Church Sunday School in my early teens, but had ceased to study Christian Science after I let those sly little foxes, social drinking and smoking, creep into my experience. Thirty years later I was almost obsessed by the fear that I had become a hopeless slave of those habits. I was also suffering from other fears, too numerous to list, and was so nervous that I could not sleep and at times was unable to concentrate. The sedatives and medicine prescribed by doctors only increased my suffering.
Finally I gave up smoking, a habit of thirty years, and I am convinced that God led me back to Christian Science because I took a firm stand against this habit and the social drinking. A few days later I mentioned to a neighbor that I was suffering agonies because I had stopped smoking, and she replied: "A friend of mine gave up smoking without any trouble at all. But, of course, she had Christian Science."
