      Two weeks? I'm no expert, but I thought the process took longer.
      
      Congratulations, BTW.

   Your adulation is understandable when you hear this: My will power is Herculean. While others have quit smoking once, I've quit 5 times a day--every day--for the past 45 years.

   I quit picking my nose at thirteen when my mum said my brains would fall out...never done it since. There was another thing she said would make me blind..but that doesn't seem to be true.

   I would like to go on record as not being a quitter for many reasons and on so many levels. First it began in grade school when I learned the importance of, aw screw this I don't feel like finishing.

   I quit believing in god when I was old enough to know that imaginary friends are just that, imaginary. While it almost seemed that I quit "cold turkey", I think there were underpinning realizations that gradually enlightened me.

      i stopped when i found out santa doesn't exist, i felt it was some big joke that my mom and dad were in on. it wasn't hard to leap to being an atheist once my belief system had taken such a rocking

      @thebigandyt --- you just stopped believing because you had proved them wrong... that's a good scientific method application..

      I mean just that. I came to several realizations that determined me to "quit" believing in god. As a child, I was told there was a god, being naive, I believed the elders, but 30 years later in all my experiences and research, I have yet to come across any evidence of this claim. I also came to a better understanding of how this concept\meme replicates itself and why people believe it, etc... further complimenting what the lack of evidence suggest.

      You are contradicting yourself there morganjt, trying to find evidence to believe isn't how you believe, you have to find your faith to believe. When you believe something you believe it on faith not evidence. You dont believe electricity exists; you know it exists. There's a difference when you believe something and know something. God isn't something you just know, God is something you know because you believe. Faith is the thing most people forget when talking about God, you just have to have faith for it to work.

      morgantj

      Negative, there is no contradiction. Just because I follow the evidence, and that there is a lack evidence to suggest there isn't a god doesn't mean it is absolutely conclusive. The god idea is not falsifiable and therefore no one can "know" god doesn't exist. By acknoledging the lack of evidence and evidence that points to that there isn't a god can only lead one to "believe" there isn't a god. If you are believing something without any evidence at all then that is just blind faith.
      
      Not to mention, you are contradicting yourself when you say, "There's a difference when you believe something and know something" and then proceed to say "God is something you know because you believe."

    I quit smoking at my doctor's urging. It's been at least a year now. Since then I've had nothing but breathing problems, for some strange reason. Lots of wheezing. I'm sometimes tempted to have a smoke, just so I can breathe normally again...

       No, no asthma. I'd be happier about quitting had I felt BETTER afterwards, instead of worse...but I digress.

    A "quitter" in that sense: good 'teaser' copy.
    
    Answering the question: I had a drinking problem, and now don't. I suppose that counts? (And no, I'm not in denial: the problem never rose to the level of alcoholism. At that, it was something like five or ten years before I could be sure that I was okay.)

    One can never quite being a quitter. If one "quits" being a quitter, then one has just quit again and in turn has just regained the quitter title. Doh!

    I quit once coffee,anything with sugar or withe flour for three months because i was on a detox cure. That left me with almost nothing to eat (from what i like) but coffee was the hardest part. I wish i would have the will power to do it again, because i felt great after that.

       @mikermcmillen - isn't it hard to do that? I mean some people use some medications, acupunctures, herbal remedies and the like only for them to quit smoking or drinking.
