To what other drugs are you addicted?

I smoked for over 30 years, tried every imaginable method to stop including
joining groups (lots of groups), only cold turkey on ones own works... worked
for me, haven't smoked for many years now... after the first month I never had
the urge again. Enlisting the help of others is merely a crutch, support
groups are the worst route, gives one a false sense of security in that it
offers a place to lay blame other than on oneself... support groups are
*pitiful* (literally), they are the route to guaranteed failure, don't do it.
Some things are best accomplished alone, stopping addictions is one of them.
People begin smoking due to influence from others, but pressuring from others
is the least successful route for [permanently] stopping any addiction.

Clues:

1. If you find yourself setting a date/time for that last smoke you will
fail... stop right now!

2. If you find yourself keeping constant count of how long you've stopped you
will start again, could be years later but you will start.
