About This is Quitting

How it works

Those who are not ready to quit receive at least four weeks of messages focused on building skills and confidence. Users with a quit date receive one week of messages prior to that date and at least eight weeks of messages after their quit date. Throughout the program, users can text COPE, STRESS, SLIP or MORE to receive instant support. Upon completion of the program, users receive periodic text messages from truth^® and may continue to use supportive keywords for as long as they like.

Here’s what some young people have to say about the program:

• They are cool, they make me feel as if I’m not alone in this journey.  – Anonymous, teen
• They make it seem like there is a way out of addiction.  – Chase, teen
• It expresses the emotions of quitting from other people.  – domlussier, teen
• They’re the one thing rooting for me to quit.  – EG, teen
• They’re not super in your face. They serve as a quick “hey don’t do the thing you’re thinking about right now”. - Cole, teen
• They encourage me not to JUUL, they offer alternatives when I get a craving. I started going to the gym and working out instead of JUULing. – Scarlett, young adult
• They remind me there’s no room to turn back to something harmful. – Meredith, young adult
