What is the worst addiction you've ever quit?

The weed thread and people "quitting cold turkey" got me thinking,what is the absolute hardest addiction you've ever quit. And what were the worst withdrawals from?
For me the hardest thing ever that Ive quit was shooting heroin/fent. I've known plenty who didn't make it out alive and buried a really good buddy like two weeks before I went to Lincoln Nova over in Ruston to get cleaned up. First week in detox was hell, especially since I think I took my sub too soon and went into precipitated, but the other four weeks I was there was great and I really got a lot out of it. Way way way way better of a place than Fresh Start in Winsborro where I was dropped off a few months before that, I made it 3 days there.
The worst withdrawals I've ever had wasn't from heroin/fent, even the precipitated that I went in, but rather just lowly old Klonopins. I'm not really a fan of benzos but was prescribed them for a while for anxiety and panic attacks. Well because I'm me I abused them and after all my refills ran out I went into the worst withdrawals I've ever felt. Thought I was legitimately about to die.
Anyways I'm curious to hear y'all's take. I know alcohol can be really bad too and while I definitely am an alcoholic it never got to the point where I got the shakes or anything when I quit. And my DOC changed and just haven't felt the desire to have a drink since. Nobody I know that shoots up also drinks oddly enough. They'll do meth / coke / maybe smoke pot but generally not but none drink.

For real, Afrin. Harder than pain pills.

I quit smoking well over 20 years ago. It wasn’t fun.

Alcohol
I drank nearly a 12’er every afternoon/ night for years and would get in the hard stuff after everyone went to sleep, got tired of feeling like crap.
It’s been a great relief since quitting

People’s brains react differently to different drugs, but for me, benzos were an absolute bitch to get off of, and I’ve dabbled in all the others.

luckily, i never went to the streets... i mean, shite, i had all the access i ever wanted, and when the heat was on me, or i lost a job, i'd just go through withdrawals since i lost my access... but never went to the streets, even for more pills... and i never would have been able to do IV drugs... just no way

benzo withdrawals, along with alcohol withdrawals, are the two most dangerous withdrawals there are... you can die from them...
opiate withdrawals, you only feel like you are dying

Women, no matter how hard I try, it never works. Maybe when I get older and it no longer works I will finally stop the addiction.
