    Hypnotism started it off but it was about an 8 year process after that to quit completely. After the initial quitting period (about 6 months) it became a problem only in drunken social/major life crises. After a few years I started exercising and specifically running, I found I didn't want them anymore at all.

    You don't really appreciate what it has been doing to your body until you haven't been smoking for a few months. You will get a crazy amount of energy and your mind will be absolutely racing. I personally found that I could all of a sudden drink an infinite amount of beers without passing out (not always a great ability). The trick is to do something with that energy. Move around more, get outside, start practicing handstands, ANYTHING. This will really help with the cravings.

    One major mindset that helped while I was still smoking socially but not constantly was accepting that I still wanted them occasionally and not beating myself up after caving in. It is going to happen. Making yourself feel like shit about it afterwards is not constructive. Accept that it happened, that it may happen again and start all over again. Allowing yourself that freedom does wonders.

    Good luck!

    While I don't disagree with you about the general power dynamics between police and citizens being a huge issue, the fact is that blacks are disproportionally arrested, beaten and killed in these scenarios. The arrest and subsequent death of Ms. Bland is an example of at least three major societal issues facing us today: An overly aggressive police force, treatment of minorities by law enforcement agencies, and violence against women. As of right now her death fits a pattern that's been in the news and that's what people are going to write about.

    My newest favorite is Ballast Point's Sculpin Grapefruit. Normally I avoid fruit-related beers like the plague but my brother forced me to have a sip of his and I have to say, it's incredible. One of the best summer beers I've ever had and one of the best all around beers that I've had in the past ten years.

    The mainstays are:

    Anchor Steam, Harpoon IPA, Murphy's or Guinness, Shipyard, Angel City IPA, Pacifico

    Doesn't exactly answer you question but asking about one favorite beer is like asking about one favorite food.
