Quitting a Habit- How do You do It?

[DocClox]

I quit smoking ... more than 15 years ago now.

 

It wasn't hard. I just stayed inside, didn't buy any cigarettes, and pretty much sat at the computer playing the hell out of every game on there to distract myself. It wasn't any fun, but it wasn't hard: you can't smoke what you don't have.

 

'Course, it probably helped that I was out of work and broke at the time

I had to quit drinking for a while so I tried to distract myself and stay occupied. Just do literally anything to keep yourself occupied and avoid any movies, TV shows or even video games that involve alcohol. It worked. I never tried to quit smoking though.

 

I mean it worked for about 2 months, I didn't do that for myself because fuck sobriety. Like you said we're all going to die sooner or later, so enjoy it while it lasts.
