i didn't mean for this to be a competition. i'm not doing this for a reward...or ummm...bragging rights.

Then why make it known to others that you're going to do it? You can make it known to people and still not feel self-important? Are you a formless warrior?

You can only ASSUME the nature of our agreement,

That's a good excuse when you want to hide something from yourself.

I have recently stopped smoking cold turkey (4 days) I did it by excersing my unbending intent.

And now you're bragging about it for what reason?
To say that you've given up smoking thanks to intent seems an exaggeration, too. It's too hard to intend, and even though I can't know what you can, somehow your whole question in this thread and the way you write about things makes me think you can't intend, sorry. As for smoking, drugs, sex, etc., people give these things up all the time with normal human will (not a magician's will)
