How I Quit Cold Turkey

I quit smoking on March 22nd, 2022 because I dislike smoking and I wanted to live longer for my children.

I just quit cold turkey with the help of Jesus, my best friend, First Breath and words of encouragement being said to me on a daily basis.

I have gotten my taste back and my smell, I got more energy back, it’s not hard to breathe anymore, I hardly get dizzy anymore, I sleep better than I use to. I don’t have yellow fingers anymore. I don’t smell like a dirty ashtray to others around me. And when I smell smoke on others it gives me an instant headache and I can’t stand the smell anymore!!

It may be hard but you can get past the first week, motivate yourself and ask for help, support and whatever you need from First Breath. Without First Breath I couldn’t have done it without their support and inspiration.
