Maybe crutch was the wrong word. I was just wondering if anybody else felt they used cigarettes as a way to help the anxiety and depression.
I quit for a solid year last year, and I was quite happy being a non-smoker. But all my new friends smoke, and eventually I started bumming, and before I knew it I was smoking again. I know it had alot to do with stressers in my life. It just somehow calms me. I have gone a whole day or two without one lately, but that's usually when I'm stuck at home with my mom. The hassel I would have with her just wouldn't be worth it.
I do worry about my health, I have almost chronic bronchitis. But I still had it when I quit smoking too. But I'm sure it doesn't help. Anyway, I was just curious.
