In 2018 I started smoking under influence from my peers. I used to think that smoking was a flex, only to realise that I got myself into a massive addiction that was hard for me to leave. I didn’t notice it at first coz I used to feel good when high. So many years passed until I got a girlfriend. I was out of school. No one knew I was a smoker. It was a silent addiction. The lady I got noticed and left, the second until the sixth when it clicked on my mind. I started seeking medication, by that time, I had lost many jobs and started being on depression. It cost me alot of money to recover from smoking addiction. It was never a good idea for me since I lost a lot. Now am a saved man with a dark history of addiction.
