Blows me away to see your post Trey, at that age I was a 'secret smoker', it's important for me to remember that. This addiction is quite happy to isolate me! Your action of using technology for support instead of escape is a real inspiration and indication that you don't want tobacco controlling your life for your years ahead and this is the absolute time to kick it out. Your body will be able to heal completely from the damage, your mind creating alternative healthy pathways; instead of self-destructive ones. Read the posts Trey, take on the advice that works for you, whether it be changing routines, learning breathing techniques, keeping a journal, writing down reasons for your quit - Basically put a little leg work in to support your effort to quit, it comes back two-fold and you'll be FREE in more ways than you can possibly imagine. Keep posting and letting us know how you go. NOPE

Wow. Thank you. That was a fairly thoughtful paragraph, which makes me believe that you actually care. Which makes me want to quit even more, because its people like you that makes me believe I can do this. People that care. Thank you. 😊
