Hi Lpg
I appreciate that this is one way to get started, but personally I could never make that stick.
I had to quit and stay quit with weed.
Your addiction will try and rationalise that you need to start small and work up -but the reality your addiction doesn't want you to stop smoking.
You need to accept and recognise that if you're going to try and bargain with it.
It;'s not looking out for your best interests.
Bottom line is, if you want change, at some point you're going to have to draw that line in the sand, and deal with the discomfort and the general crappiness of quitting completely.
