My goal for the next three months is to quit smoking. This is important to me for my future. It has been a very hard challenge for me, seeing that I am always stressed. Over the years smoking has help me to deal with my stress, Or so I thought. In my essay I’m going to discuss why it is important for me to quit smoking? Also, how it has affected me?
I have an eight year old son that gives me a hard time. I’m always running to his school all the time for him fighting and or being suspended. But, I’m not giving up on him because, that’s my baby and I love him so much. Due to this stress I find it hard to quit smoking. My son always asks me, “Mom, when are you going to stop smoking?” sometimes I don’t even know how to respond. Watching the commercials on television I get so depressed. I begin to question myself. Why am I killing myself slowly? This is why it’s important for me to stop smoking.
Over the years I have seen how smoking has affected me. Smoking has made it hard for me to do certain activities. Running and playing ball I find to be difficult, I know I need to quick more than ever. The smoke gets in my clothes, hair, and skin. However, it still has taken me some time to realize that smoking is just wrong! Being healthier is more important to me, so that I can be a good example for my son.
There have been challenges that I have faced since, I’m trying to quit smoking. My associates have played a major part in this discussion. I’m a strong believer in God. The bible says,” bad association spoils useful habits.” So I feel if I keep positive people in my circle I would be able to be positive. I try not to carry money with me all the time so that I won’t be tempted to buy cigarettes. So if I continue to be strong and positive I will be successful in completing my goal. I would have a long and healthier life. That’s why I feel that it is very important for me to complete this goal. I would like to make this goal be more of a reality to me than simply a dream.
