I agree with your conclusion. Over the years I tried so many times to quit smoking and would result in one failure after another. And every time it made me feel like a complete failure. This was the only thing that had ever controlled me . Then you talk to others that relate the same outcome and you realize it's not just you. I talked to a close friend of mines son who kicked the meth and crack addition that stated that was easy, but he can't beat the cigarette addition!
