never started any of that mainly because I had cancer when I was 5 never was given a reason for how I got a brain tumor at the age of 5 but after going through that a such a young age it makes you thing twice about things like that.

I was 22 when I stopped drinking heavily. It was a novelty but I saw it potentially becoming a problem. Now I just drink at weddings and occasions as such.

I stopped using any sort of alcohol/drugs about a month after my 22nd birthday.
Partly because I saw what it was doing to people around me, people I cared for. I was never a big user myself, anyway, but I was involved in music for a long time, and the stuff just always seemed to be around. I dabbled. For the most part, I didn't really enjoy it when I did use it, so it was no problem to quit. The other factor was some research I did into what alcohol/drugs do the the human brain and body. I decided I didn't want it around me anymore. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but it doesn't bother me when people smoke around me. |

I quit smoking 1997...cold turkey!
What really helped me(and may help others)is when I decided to quit...I still had 3 Salem's in my pack. I made a vow to myself, that if I put another cigarette between my lips, that would be my agreement to accept/take-back either one of my 2 Ex's!!! It's not easy...but with that commitment I made...It was a hell of lot easier! Haven't had a cigarette since! |

I have been smoke free since Feb 17, 2008 when I was admitted to the hospital. I started smoking when I was 16. I don't remember the withdrawal from nicotine since I was in a medicated coma until April 2008. I still get the urge for a cigarette but since I have COPD one cigarette would put me in the grave within a week. I am not ready to die so no smoking for me.
