I've used occasions when I had the flu to quit, figuring that I feel shitty anyway, so the withdrawal symptoms won't matter that much.
Of course eventually I took it up again - unfortunately after a couple of weeks of withdrawal, it tastes really good.
But what fascinates me is that being easy to quit might be part of why it is hard to quit. It's easy to say "heck, I'll quit tomorrow, it is so easy after all".
- toyg 11y agoQuitting an addiction is easy, any junkie can do it... several times a day ;) I went cold-turkey a few years ago, lasted several months, helped immensely with palpitations and sleep-pattern problems. In fact, I should probably do it again at some point this year, but with kids and work it becomes difficult to plan the inevitable couple of weeks of "zombie time". Maybe doctors should start considering it a real addiction, justifying off-time for treatment.
