Haha! As someone who is an ex smoker I can say with some certainty there is no easy quit. Cigarettes are one of the most addictive substances (not just nicotine). I quit for 9 years (cold turkey) and took it up again. I'm 5 months in again (cold turkey), every day a chore. I expect it will remain so; like all addicts/addictions, your brain doesn't rewire so much as learns to cope. Which is fine, but it's best to keep expectations away from magical cure alls for such stuff I think. Sometimes dealing with mistakes of life just requires constant effort Coffee, well I've quit drinking coffee before for periods of time, and while it's hard (I probably do about 4 strong coffees before walking out the door), I could do it permanently and not miss it, if I wasn't nursing another addiction already.. Coffee is now my crutch, rightly or wrongly. That said, I'd be interested to read your ideas, but suspect my mind isn't all that malleable. If it were, I'd probably be happily ensconced in the smoke and mirrors of normal society and not be here. Cheers, Derek
