What is the most Challenging obstacle you've had to face so far and were you up to it or did it defeat you?

I've never smoked seriously in my life so I can't speak to it authoritatively. I tried it once when I was 10 and it cured me!  But it seems that giving up smoking is a very hard thing to do for some people. Others can quit cold turkey. My dad did. My brother-in-law did. So did my sister but she had a much harder time with it than her husband did. Is it a psychological addiction more than a physical one? I always thought "it gives me something to do with my hands" was a very lame reason to start smoking. Anyway I just wonder why giving up something that could potentially kill you or others as it has proven to do a zillion times would be difficult at all? Do you too? Shouldn't it be a NO BRAINER?  A bottle labeled POISON is not something you should keep ingesting. Neither is a cigarette something you should inhale or exhale or get involved with at all. .
