This is me in both frames but with a lot of difference.

I got into smoking at a very young age due to my early exposure to the "real world" with little or no guidance.
It all started like a joke, then it became a once a day routine until it became the most important thing in my life.
I was always of the opinion that I will stop whenever I wanted to, months rolled into years and years rolled into a decade but still the cigarette didn't leave.
Rather it became that one thing that I craved when I was happy, sad, excited, anxious, scared, depressed, joyous, etc. Every moment called for some sticks of Benson & Hedges.
I lost friendship, relationships, business deals, respect, love and I've had to forfeit important issues just because I was stuck with my cigarette stick.

The most dirty habit but yet I would always find a way to excuse it.
But deep down I knew I was killing myself (every smoker knows this thought). Quitting smoking was the most difficult decision that I had to take.

Every morning i wake up feeling the bitter taste in my mouth and a sharp pain deep in my chest.
This has been the routine check of bitterness and chest pain every morning while I wished I quitted the previous day. January 6th,2019 is was the usual routine of bitter/pain feeling morning but something was different because I told myself that I wanted to quit that morning.
I told myself that I would quit and never smoke again, at first it was a shock that I said that to myself because deep inside I never believed I could quit.

To my surprise I stuck to my decision and never lit a stick of cigarette till today.
Yes I did it and it was a surprise to me and everyone around because smoking was usually what you notice before noticing about me.

All smokers know about the disadvantages of smoking but little know about the advantages when you quit smoking.
I kept searching for the advantages of quitting smoking and wanted to achieve everything I discovered.

With the above photos you can tell that there are numerous advantages when you quit smoking.

Trust me, if I could stop smoking then anyone can. Just make the decision today.
For more on how to quit and ways to stay off smoking, please send a DM and we will go through this journey together.

God bless.
