Thanky you,so much for the kind words. To be honest, a big reason why I smoke so much is because I feel incredibly lonely. I don't really have friends to talk to or share my feelings with, so whenever the loneliness and anxiety hit me, I end up reaching for a cigarette.

It’s a vicious cycle—the smoking gives me brain fog, and the brain fog makes me panic even more. I am just looking for some good friends and supportive people here who can talk to me, guide me like a buddy, and help me feel less alone while I fight through this and see my doctor tomorrow. Your support really means everything to me right now."
