I started smoking weed with tobacco at age 11, got hooked on the nicotine in the joints by 12, smoked tobacco (and everything else!) increasingly (chimney) until I was 21, when I decided 10 years of smoking tobacco was a lack of personal control (like everything else wasn't? Ha ha!) Went cold turkey on the baccy, (became evil for a week or so), and 5 years later, I have absolutely no desire to smoke.
In a weird way I associated one of the events which gave me PTSD with my smoking (don't ask!) so soon after, I stopped enjoying those cigarettes and it was easy to give up...
...I think I've just explained how PTSD could have saved my life.
Now thats revolutionary. |
