Sorry to hear about your friend @Pilgrim ๐ข That's a tough thing to get through and made even worse wheen your addiction decides to attack your mind at the same time but that's exactly what shaking this addiction is all abou. Learning to stand up for what you know is the smart thing to do, especially when those strong urges come calling. It's hard to maintain your strength against the addiction when you're in a weak moment but you simply MUST! You know smoking will do NO good and won't even make you feel better, in fact, quite the opposite.
Stay the course man! It's really important!! ๐ช
