I Quit Smoking


I Quit Smoking!


Dear Cigarettes,
For 30+ years we have been best friends. You have been there for me through all the happy, sad, nervous, stressful, fun, aweful & busy days & sleepless nights. I have been faithful to you as well. I have never gotten up in the morning & had coffee without you, talked on the phone, left the house, went on vacation or even gone to work without you. I have spent many paychecks on you... over the years, made sure you had a nice case to live in & a pretty lighter to light you. You have always been my first thought in the morning & my last thought at night. But you are not loyal to me so now we must part. You have shared us loyal smokers with Cancers, Lung Diseases, Heart Failure, & a host of other illnesses. Yes, it will be very difficult to give you up, you have a very tight hold on me. But I have family & friends to love and support me, who want me to live a long healthy happy life & will help me be strong! From now on I will not smell like smoke, my house will smell clean, my car will be clean, my family wont breath in my smoke & food will taste better! Within 24 hours my body will start to heal & continue for years to get rid of the sicknesses you have left me with. So dont come knocking on my door ever again! It may take a fight, but I will be free of you one day very soon. The Lord will give me strenth & I will conquer!
Sincerely,
Teresa Mathis
