    Something happened to get you to quit or many things happened none the less. Addiction is sad unfortunately, its also a habit. What do you do when you have a bad habit biting your nails,cussing in public etc. You break the habit. Its not that easy when others have the habit your trying to break. You need not go away from everyone and leave everything behind because that is part of who you are. Although it does make it easier. All these addicts will tell you the same thing because they are not cured and never will be, ask them they will tell you. You have to delve deep spiritually and I don't mean in a biblical sense either. You and you alone hold the key to your answer deep within your sub-conscious mind. You need to go in there in meditation and erase or release those bad habits or come to terms with them. Because for as long as there in there you will never be free from your addiction. Trust me I was there but I can say I am cured. In the mean time AA, NA are the next best things I know of to help you out. I hope and wish you well.
