It's not going to get any easier because it's simply done. I used to smoke to pass the time. It was simply an easy thing to do while satisfying my withdrawal. But the withdrawal is over.

I've been waiting 15 years to quit. My standard verbiage was: I can't quit as long as my wife is smoking.

Every time she quit in the past she held out. There was always a pack of smokes in the car. There were always more smokes. So she'd bring them back into the house and I'd start smoking again. It's easy. I had from age 19 to 45 of no smoking while my wife smoked. But that was the last wife. And I didn't like her. So me not smoking was a rebellion against her existence. And I didn't allow her to smoke in my house except in a single room. And I never went into that room. That's different from this wife. I really like this wife.

So this wife went off to take care of her father. At this point we've decided she can't handle him for more than 2 weeks, but in this case she took him for a month. The first week was her giving up cigarettes. She was not allowed to smoke in her Airbnb and she took it as an opportunity. So she abandoned me and my carton ran it out a week later and I gave it up.

Note: I have the most powerful hallucinogenics available. I spent 5 days tripping out of my mind. I watched enjoyable videos and I cuddled my cats and I did not smoke. I never experienced withdrawal. I experienced an altered state of mind that kept me distracted for a week. No withdrawal. No downside to quitting. I just can breathe better now.

So now I'm done. It's easy. Just blast your mind into an altered state for a week so you can ignore the withdrawal.
