How its affecting my life.

So far as of today I have been smoke free for 5 days today! It is said and very true that smoking not only kills you but can consume your life as well. I am trying really hard to stay smoke free but it has really taken over my life everyone I know smokes. So basically I have quit doing things that I used to do everyday just because I used to smoke when I would do them for example: I quit talking on the phone, I stopped getting on the computer, I can’t drink coffee or cappuccino I even have quit seeing friends. It’s a crazy thing to have ruin your life. I started smoking when I was 12 I’m now almost 27 so that’s about 15 years that I have been smoking. Cancer is a big monster in my family it took the life of someone very very dear to me my grandmother she passed away at age 56 of lung cancer. I can still recall the way it made her very sick and the treatment made her sick how the cancer took over her life and her body leaving nothing but a shell of her by the time it was through living inside her. It has been 6 years this Friday that, that monster took my grandmother from me and I will be damned if it takes me from my family.
