>>36922267

exercise. i was a pack a day smoker for years, started lifting + cardio again, within 2 months in i said "i should actually stop" havent smoked since. easiest time quitting too.

dont think you need to quit before exercising, just start exercising and after a while the desire to quit will come and you will be shocked how easy it is to quit. something happens neurochemically, it doesnt take as much willpower to stop when youre exercising every day.

Read The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg. It's short and explain how to end or create habits. Basically you need to identify what triggers it and change the action to something else.

They say that dropping habits isn't about forgetting old behaviour, but rather learning new behaviour.

Replace it with something worse. I replaced binge eating with smoking and I've been shedding weight ever since.
Still depressed and apathetic as before but at least I'm not fat anymore.

To be completely honest Bill, if your heroin addiction isnt the key to your talent. Put down the syringe and feel the ice cold soberity

There are none, you just have to do it.

Put rubber bands around your wrist and snap yourself whenever you feel the urge to [habit]

If you stay at home all day and dont do shit with your life, then do it on hardmode and put it around your balls

Seriously, if its smoking, orange juice is supposed to help somewhat ive heard. Ive never quit smoking, ive only ever replaced it with other foms of nicotine.

Ill tell you the worst part in TRYING is when it makes you up in the middle of the night

read the power of habit.

Basically, in habit there is a point that triggers the habit, the habbit process, the reward for completing the habit and something else i forgot.

One of the best ways to make a good habit is to transform the existing bad one. For example transform computer=porn in computer=drawing little anime girls or girls=pain into girls=fun(lel as if it's going to happen).
There are different psychological techniques involved but basically you identify your trigger for a bad habit, change the process into something good, promise yourself some kind of reward, for example a solid snack or even a "good job pal" and be content with little victories, stick to them and they will transform you little by little.

Oh I think the last ingredient is belief: you have to believe that you are going to make it, they have taken this from the AA meetings and it seems to be working.

They also recommend stuff like pomodoro technique (google it) to get you going.
Anyway, it's a very simple process, really. The one hard part is sticking to it through the initial rejection faze which may last for some time. Good luck!

Based Bill Evans. He respected guys who worked hard for what they wanted, so there's that.
