MOSES
TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCE
I started smoking at 17, and went through my twenties and into my
fifties smoking 1-2 packs a day. I tried hypnosis, acupuncture, Stop
Smoking programs, and nothing worked for me. But after starting to show
health problems and doctors told me i had to quit to save my life
or else i would die, I decided I HAD to quit. I worked with a
therapist but that failed
Until i had to confide in my family that i was trying to quit and i
needed them to stand by me because i knew it was not going to be
easy,and with this support from friends and family and medication
,i managed to quit finally. After I quit, I was diagnosed
hypothyroid. It was not the quitting, it's the years of smoking,
masking the thyroid disorder that smoking can trigger or worsen. The
thyroid problem becomes more apparent when one stops smoking. The
thyroid problem or resulting symptoms do not go away if you start
smoking again.
So, knowing the damage to the thyroid that smoking can do, I
recommend that everyone who smokes, or who has smoked should be
very carefull ,but now i have a happy life with my family since i
eat well and have a good rest at home and get enough time to talk to my
family and go to the gym.This is to let you know that it is never too
late for anyone to quit but it's better to quit early to avoid
health problems.
ALGER'S
STORY ABOUT HIS SMOKING HABBIT
I started smoking in my senior 2 after joining a group of friends
who used to smoke.This was during a dance we had at school,smoking was
not allowed at school but my friends had people from out side the
school who would supply these cigarretes by sneaking them in.This group
of friends i had were one of the most popular groups in school even
among the girls and since i wanted also to be popular,get a
girlfriend,be cool among the girls i decided to start smoking but the
problem was that i had an asthma problem and at that time i didnot know
it could turn out to be dangerous.
I smoked for several months about 6 but one day the dean of our
secondary school was tipped of and was told were we were smoking from so
,while we were smoking some one told us he was coming towards the place
were we were,my friends ran off and since i was the smallest in the
group ,i was also a very slow person at running because of my asthma
problem.When my friends ran off i panicked and got so scared that at
that moment i got an asthma attack.It was out of lack that i
survived dying the doctors told me and that i should not smoke again.
From that day i decided to quit smoking,i was expelled from school
and my friends too but i felt happier because i had a chance
now to get better friends who would even stand by me at any time.
I quit because i finally realised i was with the wrong people who
didnot care about me and also because of my asthma problem and i decided
to concetrate on my books till now.Iam a happier person who is saved and
who loves Jesus very much,brothers and sisters i pray that you also get
to quit one day.
