I went down from  Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my   36  – the twenty cigarettes were there. I’m still at the bar, telephone in one   37  and the cigarettes in the other. I’m dialing Shubentsov, who told me to call the moment I felt the urge to   38  . I feel it, feel it even   39  than I felt Shubentsov’s healing energy. That’s saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for   40  smokers of their nasty habit, using a   41  method. He sent his healing energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he picked up from another man in Russia. “I help you for free,” he told me in his muddy accent. “Just call me   42  .” I went to see Shubentsov. I think it’s time to   43  because I’m getting old, and I can’t keep doing this to myself. But here’s the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you   44    with the same habit, I really don’t want to. Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes have never let me down, never abandoned me on   45  , desperate nights. Smoking   46  my head, helps me   47  . Smoking has started conversations, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebrate victories, get over losses, comfort the comfortless. It also chases away the mosquitoes. I will   48  . Soon, my body and my mind are demanding that , daily. I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realise that slowly I’m losing control of this close, special friend. I  49  that. I realise it’s not just a “habit”. I’m   50  . So here I am, attempting to   51  again, at Shubentsov’s place. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques   52  . Anytime the urge to smoke   53  , he said, just call him immediately and he’ll help. The funny thing is, I realise that I’m not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I call, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answering machine. I do. “The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages.” I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m   54  . You see, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m still   55  . It’s mine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette.
