This is why I do what I do.  They keep me going and make all the time and effort worth while.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nThank you Brent!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else.  YOU saved your lives!  Give yourself all the credit.  There&#8217;s no way for me to reach through YouTube and knock the cigarettes out of your hands.  You are the ones who were strong, and you were the ones who quit.  Maybe I just helped a little.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p>Need a little pick me up?  Need some motivation to continue and be successful?  See Brent&#8217;s and many other wonderful emails I&#8217;ve received in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/success-stories\/\">Success Stories &#038; Validation<\/a> section!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Phil!<br \/>\nThank you so much for your quick response! I will add one more thing for you to<br \/>\nthink about. When my wife was diagnosed with COPD the doctor stated, &#8220;it&#8217;s just a<br \/>\ntouch of it on the bottom of your left lung and it will eventually turn into scar<br \/>\ntissue as long as you never smoke again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fact 1: Neither one of us would have ever been able to kick the habit with the<br \/>\nresources and information that was available at the the time (I.e blu, young<br \/>\ninternet reviewers that we really didn&#8217;t relate well to, etc).<\/p>\n<p>Fact 2: If we would not have found tasteyourjuice.com we would probably still be<br \/>\nsmoking today. Simply put your website made me feel like I was vape &#8220;expert&#8221; over a<br \/>\nfew days of reading your blogs and watching your videos. Without your informative,<br \/>\nentertaining and just straight damn &#8220;down to earth&#8221; (yes, Phil you make everyone<br \/>\nfeel comfortable from age 20-80) website, I would not have been confident enough to<br \/>\ntransition from &#8221; Winston full Flavor&#8221; to some weird alien looking device that has<br \/>\nvolt and watt controls. <\/p>\n<p>Fact 3: If tasteyourjuice.com was not there for us at that particular time, we may<br \/>\nhave eventually quit but instead of her having a &#8220;touch of COPD&#8221; she very possibly<br \/>\ncould be disabled, on oxygen or even worse by this point. To make matters worse, she<br \/>\neven admitted that she probably would have never quit if she was still a smoker when<br \/>\nshe was diagnosed with it. In my opinion, she would have became depressed and<br \/>\nprobably would have continued the habit using  the philosophy many smokers use,<br \/>\n&#8220;there is no cure, so what&#8217;s the point!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes we did it! She quit after 32 years of smoking and myself after 24 years but you<br \/>\nwere there to provide us with the knowledge, &#8220;know how&#8221; and confidence we needed at<br \/>\na very critical time to be successful! Phil, I cannot emphasize enough the extremely<br \/>\ncritical role you played in this process. Simply put, there is a very high<br \/>\nprobability, YOU SAVED HER LIFE and extended and\/or saved mine by supplying us with<br \/>\nyour information! <\/p>\n<p>We will never be able to thank you enough for what you do every day. Please remember<br \/>\nthat for every 1 person that emails you a success story, there are probably 1000s of<br \/>\npeople do not. Many people feel that they don&#8217;t have the time and\/or confidence of<br \/>\ntheir writing abilities or like myself, I never thought you would have the time to<br \/>\nread all those emails! <\/p>\n<p>Yes Phil, YOU have saved a countless amounts of lives and we all you an enormous<br \/>\namount of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"From%20Brent\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I receive emails like this all the time, and they&#8217;re all very important to me, I thought this special enough to share.
