The Journal of an Addict Part I

Quitting smoking was a living and breathing hell. Some part of that feeling is still with me now, nearly five and a half years later. There is never a day that passes that I do not grieve or long for a cigarette. Addiction is an epidemic. We all know someone who is struggling to get clean. Your compassion can make the difference between an addict making it another day or taking their life. If by opening myself up and sharing with you the depths of my suffering opens your heart to others, then my job is done.
