Stop trying to quit

A lot of us slog away, flailing and despairing...

"I'M TRYING TO QUIT!!!"

"OH, WHAT SHALL I DO??? I'M TRYING TO QUIT BUT IT'S JUST NOT WORKING"!!!!


Here's a new suggestion, a subtle shift.

Stop trying to quit.

Start simply not starting.

When you rise in the morning from a sleep, you've not been drinking.... it isn't quitting you need - it's simply not starting to drink.

QUITTING is easy. It happens all the time.

NOT STARTING is the key, you see?

Just. Don't. Start!!!
