I agree with Hooligans. Smoking is the toughest thing I've ever quit umpteen times. I'm currently on a non-smoking campaign and working on day #5 
Caffeine withdrawal was a piece of cake compared to this.

Are 5 days the most you have ever quit smoking? Since everybody has a reason, and I am a very curious lad, why did you start again? |

quit in the past: smoking, drugs and drinking
quit in the present: caffeine, wasting time and puttin' up w/ other peoples #@$& !
I wish I had done something like join the military. At least to see what it was like. I think I would have liked to travel around the world. |

I quit blaming other people for the circumstances in my life I was unhappy with, and took responsibility for my own thoughts and actions- which led to me quitting all those other nasty habits (the list is way too long to detail them here.......  ). |
