Quitting or Recovering?
Synonyms for the word "quit" clearly apply to the dependency recovery journey upon which you’ve embarked. They include the words abandon, break off, check out, chunk, conclude, desert, desist, discontinue, drop, exit, forsake, give up, go, halt, leave, push out, push off, relinquish, renounce, resign, retire, secede, suspend, surrender, terminate and vacate.
What I hope you’ll grow to appreciate is that quitting's true application should be to the day that nicotine took control of our mind, not the day we decided to take control back.
One of the most frightening aspects of chemical addiction is how quickly dependency onset causes the new slave to totally forget just how wonderful it was being free. An endless cycle of mandatory dopamine/adrenaline highs and lows rapidly suppress, overwrite and/or erase almost all memory of the calm, quiet and responsive mind we once called home.
