I QUIT SMOKING!!!

I still remember the first time I smoked. It was 3 years ago when I went to Baguio, it was my first time to go there. The climate there was really different, it was so cold that I almost chill all the time. I find ways to keep myself feel warm. I wore two sweaters at the same time, but still I shivered. My senior technician told me that, he smoke when he feels the same way I do. At first I thought it was just a joke, then I tried to do it hoping that it might work. Because of curiosity, I tried to smoke a single cigarette stick. To my surprise, it really makes me feel warm. I am not a chain smoker, don’t get me wrong. I just do it every time I feel cold.

The habit became worse, when I tried smoking when I drink beer. It felt good, it makes the beer taste good. I don’t know why but it seems like the cigarette serves as a catalyst that makes the beer taste even better. But still, I do it when I only feel cold or when I drink beer.

One time, I attended a birthday party, I drink, and I smoked. I still remember that I lit five cigarettes that night.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt that I can’t breathe very well. My heart beats very fast, and it was beating very obviously that you can see a certain part of my chest that is pumping. I almost forgot, I had Angina (a heart disease), and smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages or liquors are bad. From that day on, I decided not to smoke again. Why only smoking? Wala lang!

As of now it was already six months that I really do not smoke even a single cigarette. I hope that I can permanently quit the little habit that almost killed me.

No smoking
