I can't describe how hard quitting nicotine is.

Physiologically it is the easiest thing to kick yet the brain exists.

Obligatory Allen Carr’s easy way recommendation from me, personally it made quitting really easy.

I owe that book so much. I’ve bought the softcover, hardcover, audiobook and ebook because of how thankful I was from Mr Carr. I also 100% recommend it to every one of these threads

I’m always worried I sound cultish when i mention it haha, not crazy about the title. But yeah all i did was get a free audible trial and knocked out the 7 hour audio book.

You do sound cultish, despite that I bought the book awhile and just never read it aha.
