Belongs to: Therapist gets Sober by Tool
If you wouldn’t have mentioned to share what addiction I’m fighting with, I wouldn’t have even remembered that I’m constantly, almost daily, fighting a very common but intricate addiction myself, which is nicotine. First of all, totally awesome to hear your perspective on “my music”, because I can take away so much logical things! <3.
I’ve been smoking for years without pause since a young teen, almost always mixed with weed, because I don’t like cigarettes themselves. Had an epiphany this spring that made me realize how I’m better off without weed so I quit - it was just, like you say, the sober voice inside that made me realize that I’m doing much better in public and in general when I’m off of it. Also more confident.
But quitting nicotine didn’t work as easily as convincing myself with my inner ‘sober voice’. So, since then, I’m almost constantly working on quitting. But I never do get there to just …be able to quit. So I’ve been trying to gain control over it as good as it fits in my life. Not smoking nicotine, until I do something in the evening that I’ve set my mind to at some point during the day.
So that’s where I’ve currently arrived. I don’t need to take up much of your time, I think it’s actually already awesome to be able to share this. Thanks for reading if you do though! And for doing this for us! <3. It’s also my 22nd birthday since about an hour ago, hehe. Cheers! o7
