Like most, I started smoking when I was a teenager. I would sneak cigarettes with my friends. I wanted to fit in with the crowd. Time went on and I continued sneaking cigarettes throughout my teen years. I even got caught several times by my non-smoking parents. This caused me many problems, but it still didn’t stop me. I continued to smoke.

Years went by and I was now approaching my 35th birthday. I was still smoking- now more than ever. I went through a pack a day, sometimes more. I was suffering from myriads of smoking related health problems. My teeth were yellow and my skin was dry and blotchy. My immune system was taxed, which meant that I was constantly getting sick, and to top it off, I woke up every morning with a hacking cough that shook my insides and refused to go away. Lastly, I had no stamina, which made any form of exercise completely out of the picture.

I knew that I needed to quit in order to start undoing the damage that smoking had done. I decided to try the Cigarrest program that a friend had told me about. It was not easy but with the help of CigArrest I was finally able to break the smoking habit. I am happy to say that I am still smoke-free. I never touched another cigarette after I decided to quit. I’m going on eight months now, and honestly, I don’t even think about smoking anymore.
