As a smoker, I always envied my relatives, friends, customers, and everyone else I came into contact with in my life, who quit smoking. As a smoker, I always wondered why people who had quit for any length of time, whether it be a couple of weeks or decades, why anyone would go back to smoking. I always said to myself that if I made it past the first few days without a cigarette, I would never again smoke. I didn't know why I said that, I just know that I didn't want to be a smoker.
At the time though, I never imagined smoking and nicotine as an addiction and when I did, everything began to come together. Now, with that information in hand and with all the information I have learned at Freedom, I have the tools necessary to know why quits are lost and what I need to do to remain nicotine free for life.
Nothing gives me more joy than to see the very people who came to us taking those first few baby steps and then celebrating weeks, a months and then years quit. Read, learn and never take another puff and you will be too. It cannot be stated enough...it's a simple as never taking another puff.
