Thank God I quit my expensive habit

Blog #52-20 💚 May 21,2022 💚 10:22 pm Rainy Saturday read. cash family? How are you all today? Is still raining in your place? As of writing this article of mine the rain was heavy I was worried about our roof, hopefully, it will stop later on. Keep safe for all commuters that are on their way home, especially the riders. **Thank you so much to my sponsor's god bless you** `CIGARETTE SMOKING IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH` One of the most common problems we are facing today in the world is smoking. A lot of people pick up this habit because of stress and personal issues. If you're a smoker you cannot only hurt yourself but also your family and the people around you. We all know that smoking is harmful to our health most especially to our lungs. I am one of the million people who have smoking habits then, I was 17 years old when I started smoking, not because of stress but because of a friend's influence. I was in high school then, and the allowance that my parents gave me was that I used to buy cigarettes. At first, it was only once a day but over time I have been consuming more and more cigarettes, sometimes I can use up to 1 pack a day. My smoking habit got even worse when I was able to work in Japan, I was consuming 2 packs or more a day, too much right? During that time I didn't think that the smoking habit was very expensive, all I had in my mind was that I'm enjoying it so much, especially when my friend and I are hanging out in a disco bar, we like smoking while drinking some beer, and besides I'm still single then no worries yet. When I get pregnant with my firstborn I stop my smoking habit for a while but after giving birth I started smoking again, I don't know why? but for me, at that time cigarettes is my stress reliever and an addicting habit too, and I cannot quit easily or maybe I am not so determined to quit then of my smoking habit. In 2015, when I decided to work abroad again as (a household helper), smoking is strictly prohibited, I have no choice but to stop my smoking habit then, at first I was so restless, that I'm still looking for a cigarette, but I always tell myself that I have to endure no cigarette for two years to achieve my goal. 2017, when coming home from abroad, I don't want the smell of cigarettes anymore, but honestly, I'm still jealous if I saw someone who smokes but I never tried again, In my mind, I was able to not smoke for 2 years so no need to try on that habit again. I am determined to stop that habit, it's a waste of money too. **Writers notes:** I also become a smoker for 20 years, but now I stopped, and I don't even want the smell of cigarettes, it may be difficult at first but if you are determined nothing is impossible. Thank you for reading! See you again in my next article, goodnight. `lead image by Unsplash` TO GOD BE GLORY KEEP SAFE ALWAYS GODBLESS ajlove14
