I think it's an interesting topic. I saw on another board thought it'd be cool here. Here's mine..

Prior to going off to college, I partied a good bit, but never smoked. Started smoking my freshman year of college, black and milds. Was smoking like a box or two of those ***** almost everyday  throughout college whether it be one of my own or one that friends may have brought around. I was in school from 2006 - Dec 11 and man I felt like crap, started having all kinda sinus issues and just waking up congested every morning, I could feel the smoke in my chest when I woke up it was hell, but it was like I had become so depended upon them and smoking them while doing everyday tasks that it was so hard to stop.

I had to smoke when I drank, played video games, studied, partied, drove, it seemed as the black was always the perfect compliment especially after eating. I don't know what it was but my boys and I would always smoke one after we ate. Smoked them before we went anywhere be smelling like crap. Middle of June  this year I said **** it, i'm tired of feeling like sh*t, these things are counter productive to my life and I just stopped. Those first two weeks were hell man, I didn't know how I was going to make it, cravings were sick, I was always hungry but I was like forget that, gotta quit. After those two weeks it became easier and easier and now they are just an after thought.

I almost relapsed a couple weeks ago driving back from NO late Sunday night with like 4 hours ahead of me still I was like man **** it, it's just one. Stopped at a gas station and bought one and a lighter. Got in the car and I was freakin (loosening the tobacco) the black and about to fire it up and something just kicked in and I threw that bad boy out the window. Haven't had a craving since.

Not to mention, I feel better, i've lost about 10-15 pounds and been able to keep it off,my mouth feels better ******, and I don't smell that smell everywhere I go anymore. Pretty cool to kick bad habits... so with that being said

Right on with the first one. Very bad habit. Saw it as a challenge to my ego. In practicality, I also liked that were literally no strings attached. Meaning you can be FWB and not do any of the couples stuff because the girl already has a steady boyfriend for all that.
 
My last cigarette was on January 1, 2010. Cold turkey, no gimmicks.

I also quit taking my albuterol for like 2 months now. My asthma is well controlled, but I was still taking a pump from my asthma medication even when I wasnt feeling any symptoms. It was just out of sheer habit and like a mental security blanket.
 
Nail Biting.

Drinking Soda (only use soda to chase my liq).

Condoms EVERY time now.
