I’ve backslid so many times I’ve lost count and I still keep trying. I love there’s a platform for this and so many people helping one another through something so small but so important to them. When you look at one as a nonsmoker I know the idea of being addicted to them can be confusing. I’m 36 now, started when I was 15, and promised I’d stop by 25. Life happened and I missed my deadline. I’m in the process of not seeing them as a comfort mechanism and that’s been the hardest part. Finding anything else to replace this thing that’s not also a chemical or will cause harm to my body is another. For anyone who’s kept their promise I commend you. This has been a very rough ride.
