My thread is starting a couple of hours late.

It is the Q&A time with Dr. King - FDA/CTP
Dr. King is very strong on his youth messaging.

@ChaunceyGardner started his question with kind words.

@Hello_Alex is speaking.

Last week @CDCTobaccoFree tweeted information about the launch of their 2024 #CDCTips campaign. This program provides tips for people who smoke and would like to quit. The tips come from the personal experience of others who have successfully quit smoking.

Several people who have quit smoking enthusiastically replied with what worked for them to help them quit smoking. I don't own a crystal ball, so I don't know what caused some of those replies to become hidden. A tech glitch or a human hid them.

But I do know that several people who quit smoking by a method that is not included in the #CDCTips felt those tweets were hidden on purpose because they believe that someone @CDCTobaccoFree doesn't agree with the method they used to quit.

I have been seeing a therapist for a little over 1.5 years to deal with my mental health issues. It's been very helpful and has sent me on a healing journey. But it hasn't been enough. A few weeks ago, I started this course.

And wow! So many things are changing rapidly. I realize that for most of my life, I have lived in an almost constant state of alert. Knowing shit is going to hit the fan, I was constantly looking over my shoulder to see if it was here yet.

Add the racing mind of ADHD on top of that and you'll see a picture of someone who suffers from crippling anxiety. Lots of undealt with trauma. Lots of not healing from that trauma. Lots of waiting for more trauma to happen, because you know it's coming, it always does.

The tweet I'm quoting rocks me to the core. Abortion is not a topic I talk about publicly. It's an issue that has torn me in half ever since I've known what it is. I think today, I'd like to share the stories of 2 abortions that DIDN'T happen.

My husband was 17 and his first wife was 16 when they got married. She was pregnant and their families forbid an abortion and forced them to marry. They both dropped out of school. They had a little girl named Kathryn.

Mark was home alone with their daughter when she died from SIDS. Everyone blamed Mark and it tore the families apart, with members of Mark's family turning their backs on him. In a time of unfathomable grief, Mark had to deal with it alone because his wife left him...
