Never Give Up on Yourself

One Mom’s Journey to Becoming Smoke-Free

Keep going, never give up on yourself. It took three pregnancies of trying with this program, and I’m smoke-free. It feels great. Honestly I did it.

I was uncomfortable, I was upset, but I had to learn how to fight my addiction to cigarettes. To overcome them to be happy and healthy for me and my family and I just can’t believe I did it.

And I believe you can too, just stick to your guns, make a plan, and go for it. It’s better to start and not finish then to not start at all. Life is too short to keep dreaming and not living how you want.

So start, it’s a new journey to love yourself through it and just know you are your biggest supporter.

 El viaje de una madre hacia una vida libre de humo

Sigue adelante, nunca se da por vencido. Tomó 3 embarazos y esfuerzo con este programa, y ahora soy libre de humo. Se siente buenísimo. Honestamente, lo logré.

Estuve incómoda, molesta, pero tuve que aprender a luchar contra mi adicción a los cigarrillos. Para superarlas y ser feliz y saludable para mí y mi familia, y no puedo creer que lo haya logrado.

Creo que usted también puede, solo mantenerse firme, hacer un plan y, adelante. Es mejor empezar y no terminar que no comenzar en absoluto. La vida es demasiado corta para seguir soñando y no vivir como realmente desea. Así que comienza, es un nuevo viaje para amar a sí mismo y solo debe saber que usted es su mayor defensor.
