YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

I quit smoking in August of 2015 and I still miss it. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to still smoke and not drink/smoke pot like a fiend to compensate... as though tobacco is the lesser of two evils because it doesn't numb my mind out. I don't know, maybe I'm trying to justify smoking. It's weird but I feel like I was better off smoking and getting my addictions out that way than impairing my brain daily. Am I crazy? Thoughts?

I felt the same way. I succumbed to it eventually. I never could understand people who went back to smoking after a year or more until I became one. Sorry, have nothing to offer...
