“I picked up a wicked nicotine addiction in college. I was in a major I couldn’t stand and the pressure was getting to me.” Reigen was slightly red. This was more honest than he was used to being. “I tried to quit a lot and it never stuck. I finally kicked the habit a few years ago. I was committed, but…it sucked. Oddly, out of everything I tried, what helped me most was carrying around a worry stone. I pulled it out every time I got the itch and rubbed it until the urge passed.”
