Good luck to you.
I gave 'em up 18 years ago.

Sorry, Bill. You haven't quit. . . . yet.

I've tried them off and on over 35 years and haven't gotten the bug. My parents were multi-packs a day smokers and never had a problem with cancer or lung issues (Mom is 75+). I wish anyone quitting the very best and send all the karma I have. They are manipulated to be addictive, which isn't fair. Cigars aren't, which I think is fair.

You're probably right, I mean I gave up a pack a day for ....5 cigarettes a month TOPS if that. To me that is quitting. On a another note, I've found nothing great in quitting and will probably go back shortly. I was a bar a few weeks ago ....and I got to missing them very much. But everything to me is very addictive and I care nothing about health issues with anything. I seem to come back to everything. I tried to quick drinking about 4 times. Now hell, I don't lie to myself and everyone around me.

Same here. I like to call it my "Highly Addictive Personality" Cigarettes, virtually every drug known to man, online video games, cigars, alcohol...etc etc etc.

I am curbing my cigar purchases, and keeping an eye on my drinking, everything else has been left in the past. There are some things you just gotta stop doing if you wanna be around for any length of time.

Yeah I have that same HIGHLY addictive personality. There hasn't been anything I cannot get addicted to.

I hear ya, maybe someday I'll figure that out. Even still I don't drink like I use to. I was on the steady bottle a day diet (40%+ ABV) for about a year and a half before going broke.

Quit last New Years, lasted 7 months, picked it up again and am trying for good this New Years again and not allowing the "c'mon, just one" people back in my life.
