I never smoked, but I did make a massive change in my eating habits (which contains a lot of addictions), so I think once you acknowledge your problem and the fact that it's solvable, a little bit of determination and concentration is all the magic tricks one needs. Making a decision, without analysing it too much (no "what if"s, time windows, "after the holidays", all this shaite), starting and sticking to it through thick and thin (and nobody says it's easy or quick). It works in so many other aspects of life. It's doable, not easy, but absolutely doable.

Changing eating habits is alot easier than quitting smoking, believe me Heroin addicts have actually said that's it's harder to quit smoking than to give up heroin. Obviously it is doable but it's so hard

I believe that it's somewhat subjective, the "hard" factor. We all set our spectrum of hard and easy. Bottom line, people solve it by dealing with it, with themselves, without giving up - it's the core of everything. Be decisive, don't give up if you make a mistake, even hundred mistakes, just keep it going, slowly it will become easy to deal with. I really believe you can do it, Niamh, i hope you do too. You know what Nike say...
