You've nailed it, Pandita … Once an alcoholic, btw, you've never quit drinking until you're dead … Nice senryu! ~ Gershon

Very clever, Pandita but so realistic, too. The drugs and the alcohol were easy to quit but the cigarettes are a different story.

So true any form of addiction is challenging to quit! Thank you kindly, dear friend, for your always supportive and encouraging words! Love and hugs.

That's the way it goes for most alcoholics; few are able to quit themselves. Well done.
