How Kait Quit Smoking: Unique Perspectives and Insights About Addiction: The Interview
In this episode, I sit down with Kait, a PhD biology student who has a story most people don't expect. After 9 years of sobriety from other substances, she was still smoking cigarettes - a reality that's surprisingly common in recovery communities.
We dive deep into why so many people in recovery continue smoking, the cultural dynamics of recovery, and what made this quit attempt different from her previous failures. Kait opens up about her journey from addiction to recovery, and how she finally tackled what she calls "the final frontier" of her sobriety.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why cigarettes are often "the final addiction" for people in recovery
- The difference between bottoming out on hard drugs vs. cigarettes
- How exercise accidentally helped create her readiness to quit
- The role of spirituality and community in quitting smoking
- Why professional help made the difference this time
- Breaking the all-or-nothing mindset about quitting
This conversation reveals the complex relationship between recovery and smoking, and offers hope for those ready to tackle their final addiction.
