How much is that? 10% 20% max?

There are 2 main problems with many addicts (in the terms of quitting): they don't recognize being addicted and they don't really want to quit in the first place. Though you can't quit addiction, but you know.. quitting using the addicting substance/ what ever causes the addiction.
For example directly translated from my language people don't usually "quit" smoking, they are "on strike" (strike is temporary). I have smoked myself and first of all I acknowledge that I am addict for the rest of my life and secondly I did quit, I wasn't on strike. I intentionally chose the right word from the start, as I know that words matter (common way to psych yourself). I did quit about 10 years ago.
