A work in progress

So 3 months ago I became a non-smoker, other than with GODS help, I have no idea how I was going to quit.
I took a college course on wellness and lifestyle choices and that was a big help in my mission to quit. In that course there was a whole chapter dedicated to quitting smoking and the health risks of smoking.

I wrote a paper on the do's and don'ts of smoking and a week later I decided not to smoke another cigarette. At first it was a little difficult. I prayed alot and I pep talked myself, I would say " I will not be a slave to smoking, I am stronger than that" or look at you giving all your money away to people who don't even need money the cigarette company's are rich." Eventually my cravings became less and less for cigarettes and actually this is the first time I have quit and not had the urge to go back to it. I guess it's true that you can only quit when your really ready. But, you also have to make some sort of effort on your part to stop a habit that you don't want to keep.

I am soooo thankful to God for giving me strength to get over that bad and filthy habit. I look back and can't believe how much money I wasted on cigarettes and how many times I would cough so bad int he middle of the night. How I would wheeze during the day like I was snoring while I was awake. I never thought I smelled like cigarettes but I did, that was my denial that what Iwas doing was not good for me. I felt bad for my son that was subjected to my smoking and my friends, and my pets. I was making alot of people suffer for my bad habit. Now I feel better, I don't use my inhaler as much, I'm not waking up int the middle of the night coughing anymore. I'm free to live a normal life again cigarette free...

We all can kick any habit we want as long as we deem ourselves worthy of Change!!!!
