One Year Strong

Tee’s First Breath Success Story

I got pregnant in May, I stopped [smoking] in June. I thought it was going to be hard until I was introduced to the First Breath program and Lacey was my quit coach. She was so supportive, she contacted my nurse for me, she went over and beyond her job to make sure I was ok and that I didn’t relapse on smoking.

And together I was able to stay sober for one year and still going. It’s going to be hard not having the check ins anymore. I’m sad, she was a really good person. Wish we could of talked more but I am very grateful for her and the program and happy that she can help someone else out. I’m sad but I know that other people need her.

If you’re reading this, stay strong, pray and think about your baby being healthy and yourself, the results are worth it!

 

Un año de éxito

Quedé embarazada en mayo y dejé de fumar en junio. Pensé que sería difícil hasta que conocí el programa First Breath y Lacey fue mi Educadora de Salud. Me apoyó muchísimo; contactó a mi enfermera de mi parte, hizo más allá de lo que tenía que hacer para su trabajo para asegurar que estuviera bien y de que yo no empezaba a fumar de nuevo.

Juntos logré mantenerme libre de humo por un año y sigo adelante. Será difícil no tener citas con ella. Estoy triste, era una muy buena persona. Quisiera que hubiéramos podido hablado más, pero estoy muy agradecida con ella y con el programa, y me alegra que pueda ayudar otras personas. Estoy triste, pero sé que otras personas la necesitan.

Si está leyendo esto, manténgase fuerte, reza y piensa en la salud de su bebé y de sí misma; ¡los resultados valen la pena!
