Nicotine addiction is a strong and terrible addiction to a powerful drug.

I started to attend "nicotine anonymous" (nicA) meetings. They are based on the 12th step program recovery originally by A. A. (alcoholics anonymous). I just started going there. I hope it will help me quit smoking. However, the addiction is permanent, and you can only recover, yet you still need to be careful not to fall.

Young people don't know what they are getting into when they start smoking or try addictive substances. It's only many, many years later, sometimes 20, 30, 40, or more years, that they find out the truth - that they are addicts and that the substances they abused have damaged their lives, body-mind, and soul for many, it is too late by then to "just say no" or quit... smoking drinking alcohol and other substances, etc...

Maybe one day I'll make a text game in freebasic - something about my addiction to nicotine and how foolishness it is to start smoking and about the cost in money and health and lives - hopefully it will be an educational lesson about why not to smoke or start any substances addiction no matter how "cool" they are or peer pressured you are... - just an idea...
