I noticed a newbie said "wish me luck" in her quit.
Luck is a good thing to have in a quit, but it's only about .5% of a successful quit.
Here's something I read years ago and still think it's appropriate
Luck has nothing to do with success so I won't wish you that. I do on the
other hand wish you a strong attitude and mental strength. Those two things
will help you succeed while luck will only give you a reason to not do the work
you need to do to succeed. This is an addition and quitting the addiction is
tough. It may be the hardest thing some of us ever do, but the end result is
worth all the effort and struggle. If it was easy we would not appreciate the
accomplishment so have some strength and desire and an attitude that you
will win this war and you can and will succeed.
