Reminds me of the experience of Smitty, an old guy I used to work with. Smitty smoked for, like, fifty years. I think he came out of the womb with a cigarette in his mouth! Anyway, one day he comes in to work kind of sad, and I asked what the problem was.

"The doctor told me I gotta quit smoking," he replied. "Gave me this here nicotine gum to chew."

So, Smitty takes out the gum, along with a pack of cigarettes, which he puts down on the table. He opens a stick of gum and puts it into his mouth. After half a minute of chewing, he says, "Well, this don't do SHIT." He spits out the gum, and grabs his smokes.

My tenacity to see my new years resolution through is so great it would take a delicious wedding cake to stop it.

Running 3 miles every other day, 10k on sundays helps too.
I succeed by making resolutions on or about my birthday, and I make them for a year. Generally after a year, I am so used to my resolution I stick to it, only only slightly modify it. Also I fear the stink of failure. Last year I decided to be a vegetarian, I am only one week away from achieving my goal.
