Ciku Muiruri Confesses She Was Enslaved By Her Thirsty Desire to Smoke

Ciku Muiruri recalls her dark past as a slave to smoking, the bitter memories make her regret ever engaging in the costly pleasure.

Ciku Muiruri narrates how she battled with her smoking addiction to salvage herself from the obvious repercussions that are as a result of turning the nasal cavity into a chimney.

Even though it’s close to eight years since she last lit a cigarette to smoke, the memories of her smoking days are still fresh in her mind. It was a habit she remembers too well and one which she regrets having started.

Ciku explains quitting smoking was an uphill struggle to her saying one will always remember the day they stopped smoking.

Here is Ciku’s confession:

Someone who just quit smoking and is suffering asked me how long it’s been for me. I rattled away without having to think about it. I had my last cigarette on the 23rd of January, 2008 at 4pm. I smoked it at Kengeles West on my way to the airport, for Hong Kong. I remember everything. I remember thinking how the long flight would help. I remember hating being a slave to this thing. I remember cursing the day I started and hoping for the strength to stop. It was a Life Event to kick this bad habit. So if this is Day One for you or Week One, stay on the path. It will get easier and slowly fade. And youwill always remember the day, to the minute, that you quit Stay strong!
