I remember my first cigarette about 15 years ago. It was nasty. I got sick to my stomach, nauseous, puking and everything. I don't know why, but I kept trying until one day it clicked. It started tasting good with coffee. Next thing I know, I was smoking first thing in the morning. Then I became a pack a day smoker (and sometimes even more depending if I was out partying or what not). 15 years passed and I was still smoking. Many unsuccessful attempts of quitting in between those years, too. But the turning point was a year ago. I took a deep breath and it hurt quite noticeably; it was such a sharp pain that I just couldn't ignore it. I didn't even have to question what was the cause, or the source. My poor lungs were aching so bad, I couldn't take a deep breath without feeling like a thousand razors were piercing them.

That was my calling. One year without tobacco! Smoking sucks so much, I can't even grasp why I forced myself to build a bond with it. Literal cancer sticks.

Cigarettes were a clutch for me for a long time. They gave me confidence, they eased my anxiety--or so I thought. But the truth is, they took so much from me. They took time, they took money, they took my peace (oh how I remember when I didn't have a cigarette and I was badly craving one). The mood swings! Oh, the mood swings!

They took my hygiene away--I was a walking cloud of smoke. All the while thinking I was so slick just because I brushed my teeth right after. Yeah, right!

Now I don't have to worry about whether I have enough cigarettes to carry me throughout the day. Or the burden of not having a lighter at hand to spark them up. Or smokers asking for cigarettes from me--igniting my anxiety to please people. Instead of wasting money on becoming a chimney, I spend it on things I enjoy- such as Asian cuisine (I'm looking at you, delicious udon), makeup, beauty products...the list goes on and on.

I'm so thankful that I got fed up of that nasty habit. It took me a long time, and the withdrawals were quite insane... I had the WORST migraines for weeks. I went to the ER and started a treatment for those pounding headaches and eventually, they ceased to exist entirely.
