4- Have you ever conquered something truly monumental (quit smoking, face a difficult past, challenge a fear, climb a mountain, etc) because you made it a new year's resolution?

1) Absolutely. Each new year serves to remind one of the passage of time and that we're all mortal: there's a time limit to this game. It helps to bring things into perspective and forces one to prioritize. That's important.
2) See post #2
3) Some are difficult and long term, others aren't. Obviously the bigger ones take more effort to keep.
4) April of 1999 was the last time I did any illegal substance. I chose April because of that stupid 4/20 thing, but it actually was a resolution and I've stuck with it completely and totally without exception. It's something I take great pride in. Now I only have an occasional drink or cigar whereas 8 years ago I would very well be tripping balls or something stupid.
Don't do drugs. They're fucking expensive and they can really screw up your life.
