Tracking CO levels: The key to quitting successfully on National No Smoking Day
When I quit smoking after twenty years of nicotine slavery, I told everyone that: I quit smoking at age 32. I went cold turkey on . Another common phrase is to kick the habit, but it's usually used for addicitions to drugs other than alcohol, e.g.: He's been trying to kick his cocaine habit for years.
I just searched for "an ass that wouldn't quit" in Google Books. Every single one of the 10 matches on the first page of results was a sexualised reference to a female with a shapely posterior. I also tried searching for "a mule that wouldn't quit" (mules being stereotypically stubborn) to see if I might find any more "literal" instances, but that returned no matches at all.
Further to quite-quit-quiet, what we would be familiar with - although most would be at a loss to explain - is the expression, "The champion acquitted himself well on the field today". Essentially it means that he (or she) 'paid their account' (to their ambition, their supporters, or to their God).
