People say "I wish you the best," "Good luck!", and other similar things on such an occasion. I want to express these sentiments for you and your accomplishment, too, but I'm pretty sure your quitting didn't depend on luck or fate or wishes. I bet it took a lot of courage, determination, tries, doubts, self-reflection, and help from others to get to this point. I've quit addictions (many times each), too. It sure ain't easy. I salute you!
