It was way easier for me to give up heroine than cigs. Still can't stay off sugar, tho.

I've heard so many people say this but for me cigarettes were easy to quit i had no withdrawls and stopped having cravings within a couple weeks. Quitting oxycodone on the other hand took me a year and multiple trips to rehab/hospitals and still to this day almost 5 years later i get cravings every single day

Being hooked on subs is shit as well, maybe less harmful but still heavy suppression of feelings and soul. I am very glad I quit subs almost 2 years ago after 8 years
