@Saliu_ade:”2019–2021 was one of the craziest eras for peer pressure. People weren’t just pushed into one bad habit anymore it became sm0king, drinking, drvgs, and reckless lifestyles all at once. The pandemic gave people more time freedom and funding to explore unhealthy habits. If you survived that period without getting lost in it, honestly you did well for yourself.”
@Abdulrasheed_YK:”One thing with smokers is that, at first, they think they are hard guys, not knowing that they are pkaing themselves slowly and steadily.”
@manlike37512:”Omo I thank God for my mom I love you mom I would have been in rehab or about to come out of rehab but she didn’t give up on me until I changed and now I’m clean. Looking back now and all I can say is thank you lord and thank you mommy and myself for believing I could do it!”
