Indeed, it's very dependent on the individual. Nicotine has me by the balls, very firmly. Alcohol even more so, it's something that I'm trying to quit for over a decade to no success.

Cannabis? Smoked for months every day, decided it wasn't for me and that was it. Same for many other chemicals, including cocaine. I just... stopped.

I feel like I could stop nicotine intake within a few weeks. Could be wrong about it. But not alcohol, that's the number 1 enemy. Every time I think about it, there's an insane urge to drink some, it's insane.

I mean, I literally have access to something with effects between alcohol and cannabis, yet I go with alcohol. Ridiculous.

That is interesting because alcohol was extremely easy for me to quit. I decided at the start of last year to not drink for a year and that was that. Haven't hadn't a drink since last January. But 2 weeks without my morning decaf coffee, oh boy was that hard.
