Randolph asked: I have been an active smoker for about 2 years now…..I actually had quit for about 6 months last year but started up again….right now I am a “closet” smoker. No one knows I smoke, I have hidden it from my friends and family….I smoke when I’m in my car and change my clothes a lot so no one can smell me. I
I **** this secret “lifestyle” of smoking, I know I have a problem, but I do not know what to do. I can’t go to anyone because people know I used to smoke 2 years ago but they thought I quit, which I did for several months….but no one knows I started up again.
I have tried the patch….gum….cold turkey….nothing works….I only smoke because if I don’t I get that drive in me for that nicotine, and its really intense and strong. I don’t know who to turn to I really want to smoke because its not something I enjoy and I know its bad for my health…..what can I do at this point?
