@RationalizedInsanity@mastodon.socialQuitting #smoking is a pain in the ass.
I quit #fentanyl before I quit smoking and it's the one #addiction I've had a problem with since I was 18 years old and bought a cigar just because I could.
Not to say #opioid withdrawal is easier, but the sheer ease of access and the fact it's EVERYWHERE you go at every single gas station, and grocery store makes it impossible to avoid.

Juste une remarque @mediapart sur le fait de "gober" des benzodiazépines, ce mot me semble stigmatisant.
(Il est très difficile de déprescrire les benzos chez des personnes âgées qui en prennent depuis des années pour dormir, même si bien sûr la tâche de lutter contre cette surprescription relève des médecins. Ainsi que de prescrire en donnant ce cadre de douze semaines puis réévaluation, baisse progressive et arrêt si possible)
