Be patient and stick with it

My buddy, Tom, and I have been friends for the past 10 years and he finally quit. Though I used some of the tips on this site to encourage Tom’s quit, this is his quit. I am just happy that I knew how to help without stepping on his toes.

I’ve seen him try to quit over the years, but he would always pick the smokes back up when life got stressful. So, when work started to pick up and life just got a little crazy, I would do my best to give him a hand with. When you quit, you’re already on edge. It makes it that much harder when there’s too much to do. So, that’s how I helped. I was patient even when he was kind of unpleasant to be around and helped him with the odd jobs that always seem to add up.
