"Quitlit" refers to literature, typically memoirs or self-help books, focused on overcoming addiction or unhealthy habits. These works often share personal stories, insights, and strategies for recovery or change, offering inspiration and guidance to those struggling with similar challenges. An example of quitlit similar to "Sober is Dope" could be "Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol" by Holly Whitaker. This book explores Whitaker's journey to sobriety and offers a feminist perspective on alcohol addiction and recovery.
"Quitlit, like 'Sober is Dope,' provides valuable insights and motivation for individuals seeking to overcome addiction and embrace a sober lifestyle."

Get the Quitlit mug.Quishing, also known as QR code phishing, involves tricking someone into scanning a phony QR code with their phone or device. The QR code then takes the user to a fraudulent website that might download malware or ask for sensitive information. It’s the latest trend used by scammers to get to your hard-earned cash. Once scanned, scam codes will take you to a bogus website where you innocently input your details thinking you’re paying for a service or visiting the genuine site, when in fact, you’re sharing all your personal details with the scammers.
"I scanned a QR code to pay for my parking and I was quished!"
"The fuck does that mean?"
"I was scammed!"
If the QR is on a poster in a public area, always check whether it appears to have been stuck over the original. If the sign or notice is laminated and the QR code is under the lamination or part of the original print, chances are it’s more likely to be genuine.
If in doubt download the app from the official Google or Apple store or search the website on your phone’s internet browser, rather than scanning a QR code to take you there. It may take longer, but it’s more secure.
Check the preview of the QR code's URL before opening it to see if it appears legitimate. Make sure the website uses HTTPS rather than HTTP, doesn't have obvious misspellings and has a trusted domain.
Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t share your details.

Hym "Quit proselytizing for a religion you don't believe in so you don't have to get a real job. That's the real fear, isn't it? That I WILL be perfectly happy with a materialistic life. Your values... Your ethics... Your morality.... All rendered moot by the man who doesn't need your 'wisdom' or your God. That's why you're being deliberately obtuse. Because when I suceed, I won't need any of you."
