Since the age of 18 I was addicted to smoking. The moment after I completed my matriculation exams I started working. I joined call center and so my education took back stage. The surroundings and group circle were so energetic and modern that I got used to that kind of culture. Im not blaming them or their culture but it was that culture and peer pressure which lead me to start all those things.
Three years after I was a chain smoker and an alcoholic who doesnt know his limit. During office hours I was the most sober person but the moment I gulp down some drinks, I get wild and start abusing anyone in front of anyone. The next day I used to ask for apologies for my behavior but it doesnt make the relationship as it was earlier. Sometime my behavior and condition was so worse that I had to sleep on railway platforms. No one takes the risk of being with me in the condition which Im after drinking. So they just accompany me in the train but leave me in it. The next morning I find myself in some station and I recollect what happened. Initially this was embarrassing but later even I was used to it. My friends and colleagues used to taunt with the same.
There was sometimes that I felt really bad for such behavior of mine. This also affected my career path and I was constantly being taunted. It was then when one of my friends who work in Panoramic Universal Ltd. (PUL) asked me to undergo some ayurvedic treatment for this. I was not sure how such things will work. He mentioned his company owns a resort in Alleppey which provides such treatment. I thought he was just trying to increase his company sales by referring me there. He offered me good sum of discount for the complete ayurvedic treatment package at Panoramic sea resort.
That Ayurvedic treatment did wonders for me, as now I have quit smoking and alcohol. The initial days were very worse but slowly 21 days went past. I was left feeling for more. There was a sudden change in my body. I could feel very light inside and more positive. It was not only the treatment but self-controlling which I learnt through Yoga. Both, Yoga and Ayurveda both helped me restructure my life.
