I love this one....and please do not let the name of the band throw you off!

I guess I am visualizing something like a Quit Train camp....I do not have medical training with drug addicts...but I still think the idea is valid....and worthy of discussion and not just correction...

I am picturing the type of place that people would go voluntarily...to be with others who really want to quit and to learn about the addiction and coping strategies...not somewhere where people would be locked up and drugged...unrealistic, I guess....

Wonderful idea. Beautiful, thoughtful post, lace.

Welcome to the board, yabmob! As DD says, there is a lot of valuable information here. There are also a lot of people who have been where you are right now who are anxious to cheer you on, and help when you become discouraged. You can do this, and we will be right here whenever you need us!

I have wondered about this for years. It seems for every other addiction, there are places you can go and check in for 2 weeks or even months to get help overcoming addiction. I have heard of Quit Smoking seminars or lectures, but never anywhere smokers could actually go and stay. I would visualize that while you were there, you would learn a lot of the information we find here or at whyquit.com about the addiction and steps for coping with withdrawal and recovery. If cigarettes are as addictive as heroin (although the withdrawal symptoms are light years apart) why isn't there a Betty Ford (just picking one) type clinic for smokers? Any thoughts?
