We would love to be two pigs wallowing in the mud right now, but unfortunately we’re cursed with human consciousness and with that comes the burden of knowledge. 

This episode Kristin is a truth-bringer as she shares her knowledge on the addictiveness of nicotine. She’s getting into the different forms of consumption and its many effects, reasons why nicotine has such a hold on ADHDers in particular, sharing harm reduction recommendations as your friendly neighborhood vascular P.A., and celebrating the many wonderful changes that can come about when you quit.
