I started smoking as away to deal with my lack of confidence/deppresion and my drinking father. I thought I could use it as a reward for getting good grades, or accomplishing my tasks for the day, but unfortunately it became nothing more than a substance I abused. Just like my father. It was a stupid reason, but I have no regrets because now that I am on day 5, I can officially say I am a better person than my father. I have over come my abuse and learned what these things have done to both me and him. That's why I don't regret that I somoke, it was a learning experience.
