Smoker to Smoke-Free

I stopped smoking when I got one of my teeth pulled and I have been feeling better since. My pulse has been a lot lower also. I just kept telling myself no! No matter the situation or how hard it was. I smoked for 16 years and stopped smoking on 8/19/23.

I’m now an ex-smoker! It was really hard but I did it with no slip ups. U can do this!!!! Just keep telling yourself no!!!! It will be hard but it gets easier. Now the smell makes me wanna throw up. I don’t do any nicotine at all and I did it cold turkey. I was going to use the patches to stop but I decided not to.

I’m glad I’m smoke-free now. I can’t believe how bad it actually smells and idk how I didn’t ever notice it. But it is possible to quit and I don’t care what anyone else says.

 

De fumador a libre de humo

Dejé de fumar cuando me extrajeron uno de mis dientes y me he sentido mejor desde entonces. Mi pulso también ha bajado considerablemente. Simplemente me repetía a mí mismo ¡no! Sin importar la situación o lo difícil que fuera. Dejé de fumar el 8/19/23 y soy un exfumador de 16 años.

Fue realmente difícil, pero lo hice sin ninguna recaída. ¡Puedes hacerlo! ¡Solo sigue diciéndote a ti mismo que no! Será difícil, pero se vuelve más fácil. Ahora el olor me hace querer vomitar. No consumo nada de nicotina y lo dejé de golpe. Iba a usar parches para dejarlo, pero decidí no hacerlo. Estoy contento de estar libre de humo ahora.

No puedo creer lo mal que realmente huele y no sé cómo no lo notaba antes. Pero es posible, y no me importa lo que diga cualquiera.
