I think that's why i got a little further in life (at least professionally) than most people with a mental illness. Mostly i hear about bad childhoods from my peers. Things fell apart in my family in my teens, tho. I feel that's a big contributing factor in me developing a mental illness.

Question:

Have you ever tried to quit a vice before? How did it go?
Yes. Smoking numerous times. Now I vape, but I'm a total nicotine addict! I try quitting then go right back to it. Which is unfortunate. I really have to quit. I'm turning 41 in August. I need to start taking better care of myself!

Have you ever struggled with an addiction?
