Njengamadoda amaningi esizukulwane sami, bengilokhu ngibhema. Ngangineminyaka eminingana. Ngemva kwemizamo embalwa engaphumelelanga kakhulu, ngayeka ngokuphelele ukubhema eminyakeni engu-13 edlule. Ngokusobala ngenza kahle kakhulu!

Umbono engiwuveza lapha ungowomuntu siqu. Okokuqala, ngicabanga ukuthi sidinga ukubukela phansi ubunzima nokuhlupheka okuhlobene nokuyeka ukubhema. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi akulula. Kodwa kuyenzeka! Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwababhemayo abaningi, umzamo obonakala uphumelela ngempela ngokuvamile ulula kakhulu noma ungebuhlungu kakhulu.

Ngaphezu kwakho konke, kufanele ube nogqozi, uzenzele wena hhayi abanye futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukuqonda ukuthi kungani ubhema. Ngokwami, ngicabanga ukuthi izici ezingokwengqondo zibaluleke kakhulu, uma kungenjalo, kunokulutha ngokomzimba. Kunothi elihlobene, ngicabanga ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kweziqephu ze-nicotine kungaba inkemba esika nhlangothi zombili. Le mikhiqizo ayithathi indawo yokukhuthaza futhi ngiyazi abantu abaningi ababhemayo abaye baphindela emuva ngokushesha ngemva kokuyeka ukusebenzisa ama-patches, ngoba bebathembe kakhulu.

Okokugcina, uma ukubuyela emuva kwenzeka, ungakhathazeki kakhulu. Kukhona indlela yokululama futhi uzokwazi ukuthi kanjani.

Ngikufisela inhlanhla!
