This is a topic that I have avoided forever because I never wanted to have to admit to my own addiction publicly.

But here I am today, admitting to you that I have a very severe nicotine addiction.

I have had a constant stream of nicotine in my system for the past five years.

Not a day has gone by in the last five years,

where I haven't consumed nicotine in some form.

And recently I decided that I want to try to quit.

And because I'm at a place in my life where I'm trying to quit,

I feel comfortable talking about the topic.

Because although I'm not fully off of it yet. I'm working towards it and so I feel morally okay about

discussing the topic because prior to this point in my life I wasn't ready to quit. I didn't want to

quit. I loved it. I was like I'm not quitting and even though I didn't want to quit I still knew it wasn't something I should

discuss publicly because it's not something I ever want to promote.

I was never proud of my nicotine addiction. In fact, I was always

kind of ashamed of my nicotine addiction. But at the same time, I was not ready to quit because it played a huge role in my life in a weird way and I didn't

want to quit but two weeks ago I decided I was done and now this is the

topic I feel comfortable discussing. This episode is brought to you by Hey You, the streaming home of reality TV.
