I Choose Freedom.
Hi: My name is Shauna. I live on Vancouver Island on
the West Coast of Canada. I started smoking when I was
thirteen years old and have smoked a pack a day since.
Nine years ago, when everyone I knew was "quitting", I
decided that I would quit; just to prove that I could if I
really wanted to. Well I never smoked for six months and
then picked one up as though I had never quit. Now I want
to stop for me. I look forward to the many benefits that
Fresh Air will bring, most of all I want to be free again.
I want to take back control over my own life. I would like
to be able to say, "I'd love to go to that new restaurant
with you"; and not find out if they have a smoking section
first. I will no longer cut my visits to nonsmokers short
or make excuses to run to the store or for gas anymore.
I am choosing to breathe FRESH AIR today. I consider
myself lucky to have the support and encouragement of
my family, coworkers and friends. So join us. Perhaps
we could help ourselves by helping each other. We need
you, just as much as you need us. Together we can all
breathe fresh air, "Just for Today"
