Nicotine dependency support in Dublin

Nicotine is often built into dozens of small moments across a day. That makes it a natural fit for the Stop Dependencies interval method: interrupt one automatic decision, return, check in and build from there.

How the programme works

The free Stop Dependencies check-in begins with a short interval: choose what you want to interrupt, choose the next period of time, return and check in. In Dublin, we extend that same logic with direct conversation, lived-experience programme leadership, psychological input where appropriate, nutrition, movement, routine and practical progression.

Something worth returning to

Stopping a behaviour is only part of the work. We look for existing anchors — people, memories, work, interests, plans — and where those are missing, we work with the person to begin creating new ones.

Where the work is meant to lead

The direction is greater stability and independence: healthier routine, relationships, education or training, employment or a realistic route to self-employment where appropriate. The programme is not designed to make someone permanently dependent on the programme.
