“The obvious tapering strategy is attractively simple: cut back one cigarette each day until you quit. It’s clean, elegant and completely wrong. Our plan is also simple, but it’s simple and right.” — Nick Sullivan, inventor of GottaKickit

You want results.     Not trauma.         We can help.

GottaKickit has numerous software features, which you can learn about in the GottaKickit slide show. To start with, though, here are GKI’s own built-in instructions, which make it as simple as 1–2–3:

The One Unbreakable Rule of GottaKickit is that you must wait to smoke until GKi tells you that the time has come. If GKi is running, it will chime or vibrate to alert you. You don’t have to smoke immediately, but the countdown to the following cigarette will not begin until you do.

As you light up in real life, flick the lighter knob in GKi. The Now smoking sign appears and the on-screen cigarette starts to burn. After a few minutes, the countdown to your next cigarette will begin.

Sometimes it might be hard to fit your GKi smoking schedule into the pattern of your daily life. When that happens, you can use the Advance button to restore order. Each time you click the button, your next smoke only is brought nearer by 15 minutes. GKi allows up to five advances per day.
