Ik this is so dumb I just like don’t WANT to stop smoking bc it’s like part of my normal routine for YEARS and I LIKE it, the smell, the taste, I just also logically know that the weird pains I get and the occasional feeling like even my deepest breath doesn’t give me a satisfactory amount of oxygen is like REALLY BAD(????) so ofc I’m deciding I need to stop. I’m just so sad about it?

And dgmw it’s also lowkey fucking embarrassing… like I’m 24 and it used to sound cool to be “the biggest stoner I know” but now that’s just like a twinge embarrassing….. saying “I’ve been smoking for almost a decade” is like just a shade embarrassing right?? Like that’s not a fucking BRAG yk??? But I acknowledge all of this and still feel so conflicted and sad 😔

Oh no I’m surely addicted, I mean even at the very least just my body is, after so many years of daily consumption. I’ve had breaks for tests for jobs here and there so I know I’m capable of not smoking, I just really enjoy smoking yk? Like I said the taste and smell and the action, and ofc how it feels after. But I feel like my issue is more of like, not having much of an identity outside it? Which is pretty embarrassing to admit tbh
