We presume you mean "how many are successful at quitting."
Success in addiction recovery is primarily a matter of fear. If the addict is more afraid of the effects of the addiction than she is of recovery, the recovery will likely be successful.
It is not possible to name numbers. Addiction and addicts are secretive issues. Much of the data would have to depend on self-reporting, which simply doesn't happen in most cases. Current estimates are between 10% and 25%, depending on the definition of "recovery".
