Breaking news, woman off cigarettes, keeps promise to young self, 32 yrs later.
I started smoking at the age of 13. My neighbor upstairs who pierced my ears and had me baby sit her 2 young girls turned me on to cigarettes.
I remember in High School doing a report on womens lib and using the cute virgina slims adds. They were always clever and of course related smoking to freedom , freedom to get addicted. And i was forever rebellious even though i knew better and wanted to quit before 19. Now its a long time later, and funny until i hurt my neck, joints aside i have felt stronger the last couple of years due to exercise than i have ever been. So my point is i am training the body, and having faith that the mind will follow. I know for me exercise fends off depression. The last 3 years i went through boxes of patches and apparently got the practise i needed.
