Still haven't sold the house, but...

Smoking wouldn't help. Every night I have to take medication to slow my mind so I can sleep. I have constant anxiety over this stupid house. But smoking would not help. I'd just stay up longer to smoke and think.

I love my apartment, but I'm also lonely because I haven't met many people yet. I've had a couple issues with the place, and maintenance folks have been great, but smoking over them would be less useful than a phone call.

In my mind I'm trying like hell (and sometimes succeeding) to keep my spirits up. I know smoking wouldn't make any of it better. Because let me tell you, if smoking would help sell my house I'd be first in line at the convenience store counter.

I became nicotine-free on Christmas Day 2017. That's what I use as my quit date. I had smoked cigarettes for 45 years, then vaped Juuls for a few months before quitting cold turkey when I used up my supply of pods. I am a retired widow, living in Upstate NY.
