Damn girl! You were a right chimney! Good going on getting it down that low! And keep it going! Don't relax into a NEW smoking habit!

That'll be one of the first things a good endo is going to ask you about, you know. Because once you add smoking, high levels of estradiol in the blood plus smoking DOES raise your risk of DVT AND a serious stroke from it tremendously! This is a KNOWN risk of smoking among ALL WOMEN, as well as those who use hormone supplementation.

Yeah I know. It's stupid. I get absolutely nothing out of killing myself, even not taking into account the increased risk of health problems while taking estrogens.

It's just a remnant of my younger days when I was desperately trying to fit in. Quite embarrassing tbh.

I didn't smoke before my morning english class today, and towards the end of the class i wanted to scream at these people to shut the hell up so we could get out of there. It seemed like we were being held an extra half hour, but when I got outside I looked at the time, and we'd gotten out 40 mins early lmao

God only knows what kind of ultra addictive additives are in them. Hopefully my therapist can help with my addiction issues as well.

Good for you!

I think that's reason enough to be proud of yourself.

Thanks. I can't wait until I don't constantly have the urge to light one up lol....its hell. A hell of my own making, but hell nonetheless.
