Do you literally not understand how addiction works?
Telling your body to "just stop" a vice that has literally been carrying you through life, is like trying to unmix cement. It requires an insane degree of willpower.
For context, try quitting sugar for a week. Even more, try getting your loved ones to quit sugar, telling them that it's for their own good.
