It's March of 2023, and I am sitting in the bathroom 15 feet away from my family eating dinner. The problem is, I can’t breathe right now. I just hit my vape a little bit too hard, and when you have an acute bronchitis diagnosis, smoking is a delicate process. Now, I am trying to silently cough up a lung without my family knowing. I start to get progressively louder as I try to stifle my coughs. Eventually, tears are streaming down my face as I am slowly suffocating in the bathroom. It was after this moment in the bathroom that I realized that I can no longer keep smoking. I was going to have to find a way that didn’t require willpower, because I had none at this point. My girlfriend quitting was not enough. Embarrassing myself in front of her family and my family was not enough. Even getting diagnosed with acute bronchitis was not enough. I had failed several times in the past, until I finally stumbled upon something called a mindset.
