[OC] I have been wanting to quit smoking for quite some time. I was at a pack a day. Tried cold turkey but no luck. So over the past few months I cut back and cut back and cut back. I’m now at 4 cigs a day. I’m pumped!1yr ⋅ charliepuppers ⋅ r/MadeMeSmile
When I was college, the voices started in my head. I lost my 20’s with 3 psych lock ups and the loss of 4 jobs.
