hello abigail-dantes a pleasure to read your post. We live in a stressful world and seen people close to me become addicted to some kind of substances as well as other factors that make them feel better and escape from the anguished life we lead where even these vices make them lose everything both material and their families.
the genetic load is very important, I had a cigarette addiction was a compulsive smoker where I smoked up to two boxes of cigarettes a day and even more when I had some kind of problem, thank God I left it was not easy, I have three years without smoke.
One of the reasons why I stopped smoking was that my father died of cancer as a result of smoking.
thanks abigail-dantes for your very good and informative post.
Hello @urbano579 :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by once again!
I do remember your experience with cigarette addiction (and what you lived through with your father falling ill). I am pleased you managed to be rational and abandon this most unhealthy habit! It must have been a rather difficult thing for you to achieve considering how much you used to smoke. Two boxes is a lot!
Above all, thank you for sharing your real life example here. I hope it can inspire other people who find themselves facing the same situation. You have just demonstrate here it is possible to win this fight!
All the best to you :)
