Writing Your Goodbye Letter

  • Close your relationship
    Like a dear friend, cigarettes, vapes, dip or chew likely became a source of comfort for you over the years. In the beginning, there were probably many good experiences. But as time went on, the bad experiences piled up. It became clear that this relationship was an unhealthy, lopsided affair.

    It’s ok and perfectly normal to feel a sense of loss. Or for this to be an emotional, tough experience.

    Writing an official goodbye letter can bring you closure. It can help build resolve and strength.
