This is me on both photos 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.

A THREAD
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.
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 woke 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 pain every morning while I wish I had quitted the previous day.
January 6, 2019 I woke up and it was the usual routine bitter/pain feeling morning but something was different because I told myself that I wanted to quit that morning & never smoke again. At first it was a shock that I said that to myself cos deep inside I never believed I do it
To my surprise I stuck to my decision and I've not lit any 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 noticed before you notice anything 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 photos above you can tell that there are truly advantages when you quit smoking.

Trust me, if I can quit smoking then anyone can. Just make that decision today.

God bless you as you take this bold step towards a healthy life.

Thanks
