You know, I had tried half-heartedly for 4 years to quit - never made it past 10 - 14 days, as wasn't really that bothered.
This time, it just so happened, that my quit date (aug 8th) would have been my Mum's bday (she passed 21 yrs ago from cancer)
It's given me extra motivation - sort of dedicating it to her memory. It feels like something I can still do for her, other than take flowers to her grave, obviously.
Wondering if it would help you, to perhaps dedicate it to your friend?
Just a thought
