From Cigarettes to a New Best Friend

I decided to stop smoking for my kids. I want to be able to see them grow and have children of their own. What I did was cut down on my intake of cigarettes and the money I used to buy packs I put away. With the money I saved, I was able to get a puppy for me and my children.

The benefits of not smoking are having better health and a longer life. My advice is that you can do it! I believe in you and good luck on your journey. And may you reach whatever goal it is you are trying to accomplish.

This program has helped me and I hope they can help you as well. My coach was awesome and I appreciate everything she has done for me and my family. I pray your coach is just as awesome as mine was. Thank you Lategra [her Health Educator], you’re the best!

 

De los cigarrillos a un nuevo mejor amigo

Decidí dejar de fumar para mis hijos. Quería verlos crecer y tener sus propios hijos. Lo que hice era disminuir el consumo de cigarrillos y guarde el dinero que antes uso para comprar paquetes de cigarillos. Con el dinero que ahorre compre un cachorro para mí y mis hijos.

Los beneficios de no fumar son mejor salud y una vida más larga. ¡Mi consejo es que puede hacerlo! Creo en usted y buena suerte en su jornada y que logra cualquier meta que quiere lograr.

Este programa me ha ayudado y espero que pueda ayudar a usted también. Mi educadora, Lategra fue maravillosa y agradezco todo que ha hecho para ayudar a mí y mi familia. Rezo que su educadora es tan maravillosa como la mia. Gracias Lategra, eres lo mejor!
