Danielle’s Story

I quit smoking due to being in the hospital for a month during my pregnancy because my water broke early. Once I got out, I stayed quit cause I was/am breastfeeding my premature baby and he deserves nothing but the best and the best start to his already hard life.

My chest no longer bursts in the morning when I wake up. It feels easier to breathe, I can enjoy things better and more with my children. We also have more money to do fun family things. Life has just been all around more enjoyable.

If I can quit anyone can quit!!!! Quitting is so worth it. Stay strong, hold in there, it gets easier I promise. I have been quit for 8 months now and I have not had a craving since like the third or fourth month. You can do it and you will be so happy you did!!!!!

 

Dejé de fumar debido a que estuve en el hospital durante un mes durante mi embarazo, ya que mi agua se rompió temprano. Una vez que salí, me quedé dejado porque estaba/estoy amamantando a mi bebé prematuro y él merece nada más que lo mejor y el mejor comienzo para su ya difícil vida.

Mi pecho ya no explota por la mañana cuando me despierto. Se siente más fácil respirar, puedo disfrutar mejor de las cosas y más con mis hijos. También tenemos más dinero para hacer cosas divertidas en familia. La vida ha sido en general más placentera.

¡Si yo pude dejarlo, cualquiera puede hacerlo! Dejarlo realmente es vale la pena. Mantente fuerte, aguanta, se vuelve más fácil, lo prometo. Llevo 8 meses sin fumar y no he tenido deseos desde el tercer o cuarto mes. ¡Puedes hacerlo y estarás tan feliz de haberlo hecho!
