I grew up in a small town called St-Jean-sur-Richelieu. My family moved to Saint John, New Brunswick when I was 10 years old. When I was 13, my parents divorced and I moved back to St-Jean-sur Richelieu. I lived there until I was 18 years old. In high school, I started smoking weed regularly. I became addicted to it and would smoke around three times per day. I had no intention of quitting. I didn't even think about trying to stop smoking until I was 16 years old. That's when I decided to give up. I tried everything to quit including cold turkey, hypnosis, acupuncture, meditation, and even therapy. Nothing worked. I eventually got clean and stayed that way for nearly two years.
