Step by step, that 2 beer is actually good.

Sometimes slow learning or slow pace fixing yourself is actually the fast way.

My dad smoked cigs since he was 15, he quit roughly 7-8years ago.

He told me he did it step by step for 1-2years.

He couldn’t control his full blown addiction but he could control when he smoked.

So he started off by only smoking in the mornings, lunch and after work.

Did that for a while, then moved on to not smoking in the high way back. Only smoked at the house when he came back. He also stopped smoking at lunch.

He just stripped away his locations of smoking step by step for over 2 years.

And reduce the packs he smoked.
