Discover a counterintuitive yet effective approach to breaking bad habits through removing guilt and shame rather than intensifying it. Jimmy James Johnson shares his personal journey of finally quitting smoking after 15 failed attempts using a technique he calls "Permit It to Quit It."

• Christians struggle with bad habits just like everyone else
• Traditional approaches often increase guilt and shame, creating more stress
• The "Permit It to Quit It" technique removes psychological barriers to change
• Biblical support comes from "all things are permitted, but not all things are helpful"
• The law naturally sows seeds of rebellion in human psychology
• Self-condemnation creates the emotional states that trigger bad habits
• Removing pressure and guilt can create the emotional space needed for real change
• Personal testimony of permanently quitting smoking using this approach

Try giving yourself permission to struggle while working toward positive change—you might find freedom where rigid rules have failed.
