Count the people who took the time and effort to answer your question, and you did not leave a a single comment in response. Even if you did not think any were a "Best Answer", you should at least say "thank you". The English phrase for that is "common courtesy".

To stick TO something and to stick WITH something are both "correct"phrasal verbs.
I would say the collocation is stronger for "to stick to a promise"...
I think the difference is when the object is percieved as a single event/point in time (a promise) versus, for example, a course of study or some other process that is a PERIOD of time...
For example,
Studying English can be touch so stick with it.
However, it is equally valid to say:
Studying English can be tough to stick to it. (
That fact that they are both possible doesn't disprove what I was saying above because the speaker could be seeing "studying English" as a point (something she did when she was in university) and also as a process (something that nevers seem to end)
This is not answer, merely grist for the mill. Others might disagree and they wouldn't be wrong.
