This hideous disease

Well I gave away my last two cartons of cigarettes to a young man who is dry walling a room in my house.  Even after 32 days I still had thoughts of what if I decide to smoke again down the road!   Also felt bad about aiding his addiction but knew he was not at the quit point.  Did not want to throw the cartons away and at the same time did not want to keep them in the house.   And I know that I am never going to smoke again but the mind really tries to drag you back into sick thinking.

I started smoking at 25 and it took me a year to learn to inhale so I really was hooked by 26. I have smoked 50 years and quit August 11, 2020 so today is my 28th day. My husband of 54 years died March 1 and he had smoked for 65 years. I knew when he died I would quit as I had tried 5 times before but his smoking made me jealous or I could smell it. Used him as an excuse to start smoking again. I am retired from a university. Raised in Nebraska and living in Iowa since 1978.
