# Isn't this too extreme? Is it safe?

For casual focus, yes, it is more than you need. That is why the gentler levels exist. Nuclear Mode is deliberately for people quitting something a softer block never holds against. Use it intentionally: choose a sensible date, block only what is actually harming you, and keep essential tools accessible.

## Specifics

- For a serious compulsion, Welockin is one part of a plan, not the whole plan. Real-world support does the rest.
- Blocking essential tools is the one way this can genuinely go wrong, and it is entirely avoidable.
- Choosing a shorter first date is not a failure of commitment; it is how you learn what works.
