Tolerance is when one beedi isn't enough anymore. Dependence is when your hands reach for it without your mind asking. Withdrawal is the body's hot, shaky complaint when you stop. And addiction is the story you tell yourself to go back, knowing all three.
I quit last year, but I still sometimes stand exactly where I used to smoke, my empty fingers remembering. That's the real difference – the others fade, but the addiction leaves a perfect, empty shape in your life.
