I'm not personally familiar with addiction issues, but could you really call that "quitting" and say it feels more "real" this time? Because it seems more like harm reduction to me.  From my understanding, the behavior is basically still there, but you've switched to something less destructive.


"The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas."

"Just fire up a new window in your web browser for a moment and type in the word 'healing' under Google Images...see what I mean?  It's all colors, lights, hands butterflies, beatific expressions...

the reality of healing any living system is pain, swelling, itching, aches, exhaustion, and chaos."

-Gwyneth
