Do you see that your Beast is attacking here? You say that you know you can quit, and that quitting isn't really as bad as it seems, and the Beast then says
"yes, you could quit, but not just yet -- do it later." If you can't quite see this, try defining what "soon" means. When is
soon?
Once you start catching on to its shenanigans, the Beast will try to put off quitting, but the AVRT concept of static time can help you get over this little speed bump. The Beast will play on the idea that then is different than now, but we know that when then actually comes, it will still be now.
Therefore,
it will never be any easier or any more difficult to quit than right now.
