People love to talk about willpower like it is the magic ingredient, but quitting nicotine is a skill-based process — not a personality test.
Skills can be learned, practiced, and strengthened.
Quitting requires skills like:
noticing your triggers
interrupting automatic patterns
riding out cravings
regulating stress in healthier ways
choosing a different response
grounding yourself during discomfort
reframing your thoughts
creating new routines that stick
Willpower fades. Skills don’t.
You do not need to be a superhero — you just need to build the tools that make cravings less powerful and your choices more intentional.
Skillpower is what carries people from “trying” to done.
And you are already building it — one page, one insight, one strategy at a time.
