I've been reluctantly smoke-free in the past few weeks but today I suddenly feel grateful. I struggle with depression and I know if I had any with me I'd be smoking it, regardless of my commitment to be smoke free, because it provides "relief" from the doldrums...
While it may "cure" depression short term (more like delay / numb it), smoking allows me to be lazy and complacent in my daily life. When I smoke I isolate and procrastinate. I don't want to get up off the couch today but I'm going to anyway, and I know if I were smoking I'd be plastered to the couch and perpetuate my depression.
Anyway I'm so glad I'm not smoking today! Thanks for reading guys
