Sorry to hear about that death. I can speak from experience, it does get easier over time. Then the challenge is not slipping up when you get the occasional strong urge. I've been quitting for the past 10 years or so (picking the habit back up for brief periods of time then abstaining for longer periods). I'm still trying to master the not slipping part. I know I'll get there eventually, just hopefully before it's too late. Good luck!
