A Fresh Start!

I'm new here. I am male, 26 years old. I have been smoking for the past five years. And today I decided to quit "Cold Turkey".

Yesterday, along with my office colleagues, I went to play football early in the morning. It was not even fifteen minutes, I couldn't run and I was heavily exhausted. I couldn't breathe easily.

Back in my college days when I was not smoking, I used to play football for complete 90 minutes and I never felt any kind of breathing problems caused due to running. Now I realized the after effects of smoking and decided to quit.

Dear Friends, I will need your support to continue this No Smoking Journey.

Thank you all.

You’ve definitely come to the right place for help and support👍🏼

The good news is you’ve decided to quit while you’re still young, before any long term damage sets in🚭✅

You can do this, stay determined and you can look forward to playing football more easily. That’s a good goal to have, no pun intended😉xx

Hello SachinStark, cold turkey is hard core so be prepared for some unusual and strong feelings and emotions. But it is one hell of a ride, so in some masochistic way it is enjoyable. Keep busy and always keep this place close. Good luck
