Addictions you quit.

I've quit all the typical waste of life wannabe rock star crap. I won't post details, but I shouldn't still be alive at this point....as well as quiting cigarettes.
Cigarettes was the hardest to quit out of all of them.
I'm 13 years without illegal substances and 5 without cigarettes.
(coffee is my only vice now... but I quit caffeinated sodas and I do purposely skip coffee completely for a few days every couple months just to keep it in check.)
Well, I havent quit drinking or smoking pot... but those arent really addictions. I havent had a doobie this past week, not really bothered at all by it, same goes for alcohol, so I dont consider those addictions, as of yet anyway...
Cigarettes though, I couldnt do without for now. I'll quit eventually, probably when I start doing sports on a daily basis again.
Oh man, I am going to start using that line from now on. Thank you
Oh for me... Smoking cigarettes. Fairly easy IMO but i still smoke i guess so maybe that's why it was easy...

Stopped heavy drugs in the mid 90s..Mainly cocaine and opium hash , codeine and other wonderful pills..
Now i just smoke and wishing i could stop that.
Never was much of a drinker..but i watched a fellow musician friend kill himself with booze.. To me booze is soooo much worse than any of the heavy drugs.

Man that is a hard one as well... I only allow myself one a day. Then water the rest of the day... I w shocked at how hard that was to stop
Haha, I made sure to never get addicted to WoW. I still play, but limit myself to 1 hour per day UNLESS I have a raid planned, and then I log on, do the raid, and log off.
I never got into smoking, drugs, or drinking, just because I saw it destroy a lot of my friends' lives.
I broke my porn addiction. It really is addictive.
I'm porn-free for about a year now.

Your not kidding , I have actually had dreams about falling off the wagon
I wont even take a cocktail mixed with soda IE Gingerale or Coke for fear of a relapse , I am clean over 2 months. 
Instant messanger. It keeps you in touch with people that otherwise you wouldn't be in touch with - hence, they aren't vital or even mildly important.
I also quit smoking a pipe less than three times a week - I was around one pipe a week for a long while without feeling the need to smoke more, but now that I do it more I feel better.

Soda is evil! I look at it this way.. When you stop smoking for 5 years then take a drag you think damn this taste awful how did i ever smoke these things. But not with soda...
Thats actually how long ago it was that I quit cigarettes this April , the second hand is revolting.
yeah... i was really surprised how addicting porn could be, a friend of mine has a $400 or so weekly habit... i mean hell... each video is like $40-50.
But damn if he doesn't have enough movies to start a store.
Alcohol and weed.
Maybe I wasn't addicted, dunno.
Still can't stop smoking and chewing my nails. :E

$400! That is a problem. Mine was online, and it is very addictive. I can't believe how many people have a problem with it. It's kinda sad really, like a silent epidemic of sorts :scowl:
