I wasn't giving advice. I was explaining the mindstate you have to be in to stop. I've already stated in many threads that I don't personally invest time in addicts, and I think they should take it upon themselves to get better. You think I don't understand that positive reinforcement is better than bearing over someone telling them how much of a failure they are? I've dealt with more than a couple handfuls of drug addicts in my 29 years and lost more than I'd like to admit along the way. If any of them ever had a problem and wanted to talk I'd listen and give advice but I don't go out of my way to "fix" people.

The bottom line is that unless an addict WANTS to quit they never will. All your positive reinforcement study nonsense doesn't mean a thing if they enjoy doing drugs and just tell you they want to stop to get you off their back long enough to get a few more highs.
