Excellent post jazzfish. I too was realistic about the impending and inevitable discomfort in quitting and got through it. When I say I quit for good, it doesn't mean that I was skipping around sh*tting rainbows as some would like to imply. Neither was it the gut and soul wrenching lifetime process others report. The truth, for me, was somewhere in the middle. The initial part sucked azz pretty good, but I knew it was going to and was prepared for that.

I prefer ripping off a bandaid quickly, as opposed to slowly slowly pulling and ripping...each...hair...out...one...by...one. Using the latter approach in an effort to avoid the pain, I simply prolong it.
