Friends , I am not here to brag . I am here to encourage everyone . Myself I quit cold turkey . What was my secret to quitting . I really wanted to quit . That is it .I really wanted to quit and was not going to let anything stop me . I t came down to a choice for me . Did i want to keep wasting money pumping poison into my body , or did I want to breath 100 % better and be able to walk around my yard and neighborhood without being out of breath every few feet . I smoked for 35 years and did untold damage to my lungs and every part of my body . Yet I can honestly tell anyone reading this , after the first few weeks , i will say after a month I could start to feel the improvement and each day since .  There is nothing that could ever get me to start smoking again and I feel this is one of the smartest things I have ever done . I want you all to know , You can do this , I will be honest not everyday in the beginning was a cake walk , but that went away much faster than i thought it would . now I hardly ever have a urge , and when i do it is gone within a couple minutes . I can also tell you . If you decide to quit , you will not regret it , oh in the first couple days you might think so , but get to say day 21 and you will be thankful and start to feel the improvement and You can feel proud of yourself . You took control of your life . I encourage you the reader to not give up . I did it and so can you . 9 months of freedom and never looking back .
