Testimony on tobacco addiction

Anne 21 years: I smoke and I smoke ... and I do not eat!

I started smoking at age 12 and then I promised my brother to stop. I even signed a contract with him. Now, I stopped for six months and I am very proud of myself. I used patches and took anxiolytic and antidepressant for a month. I faced my mood swings, my anger, my fears and all my emotions I learned to live with.

I became another, and dedicated myself to reading, other activities. I do not work too but I have good results with partial. I listen more to my needs and I know now that I need to learn to respect them. I gained more confidence in myself now and I'm proud. Now I respect and not destroy my body. I want to live because I have a body "new" and "clean."

Only, I did not pay attention to my line. Since I stopped, I took 6 pounds! However, I did not have complex and I found my beautiful body! I am aware that I have spent years to smoke more to eat less, to stay and forty-seven pounds ... And then I realize that I feel more beautiful with my 6 pounds more!!

Stop smoking, it's magic. This is a great adventure where we discover each day a little more. So for all those who are addicted, stop because you have everything to gain!
