I am 24. I started smoking cigarettes and drinking heavily at age 15. I switched to a can of Copenhagen a day about 1-2 years ago. I used to have a daily drinking problem. I don't drink anymore. Up until 7 weeks ago, I smoked 1/4 ounce of marijuana weekly. I don't smoke pot anymore. In December of 2013, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder type I. I've been on more anti-psychotic meds than I can count since then. This week, I start the mother of all BP meds, Lithium. Quitting nicotine is the final (and most difficult) step on my journey to full sobriety and mental wellness. I am so happy to have found this site. Good luck to everyone on it. Together, we can beat this succubus named nicotine forever. What a bitch.
