Log cravings, recognise patterns, and respond with targeted strategies. Milestones and positive feedback build your confidence. Our missions are small, enjoyable tasks.

It helps you feel good while quitting and celebrates your wins, but it’s also there in tough moments. Its impact is supported by research.³ Your Inner Dragon grows with you. Instead of smoking, spend a few minutes caring for it or having a quick play. No one understands better than people who are also quitting. Our community is full of like‑minded individuals who know how it feels.
