And if you fail and relapse, don't beat yourself up over it: it does nothing. It will also help to beat addiction if you have either a reason which motivates you to stop (as an example, an addict could stop for the sake of his children, but any reason which motivates you will work) or just ironclad determination, where the fact that you said you were going to do it is reason enough. If that fails, you're going to need to find something which you enjoy doing to counter the addiction: or just keep busy constantly, working to improve yourself. It'll help if you truly enjoy doing your entrepreneurial goals: that way, you'll have something you love to balance out the addiction. You have to find a replacement to the addiction to truly beat the addiction. To beat additions, the basic trick is to keep yourself distracted. You could also try doing them in stages: like quitting two and then quitting another two, or quitting three and then quitting one. The only way to know the answer to this for sure is to quit them all at once, and then if that's too hard, switch to quitting them all one at a time. Quitting them one at a time may be easier but it will of course be faster to quit them all at once. Then again, I think it's 'totally feasible' in the same sense that everything requiring willpower is totally feasible: you can always do it, it's just tricky.

It may be harder to quit everything at once, but I think it's totally feasible. Right now I just wrote a list of things I need to do tomorrow (6 things). Suffice to say I will have a lot of work to do. Secondly - any tips for being successful in this endeavor? I know the key is to keep busy - and luckily I'm quitting these things to help me go for my entrepreneurial goals. So I guess what I'm asking is - is it feasable to quit these 4 vices/bad habits cold turkey? I know thats a question only I can answer - but is this the best way to go about it or should I maybe do one vice at a time?

I would use it as a celebratory tool when I reach certain milestones. With the other 'hard drugs', mainly coke and opiates, I too plan on returning to responsible use (though at a much lesser frequency). With the weed I intend to quit it and reevaluate October 31st, if I do go back to it which I honestly know I will at some point though not necessarily oct 31st, I will toke up no more than once every 2 weeks. I essentially intend on quitting smokes and porn permanently. I am more motivated than ever to quit - I've realized and also experienced some things in life that have shown I need to act now or else the regret and guilt is only going to get worse. I've tried at one point or another to quit these things but I never lasted. Any other drugs except alcohol (mainly cocaine and opiates - obviously need to go, never been addicted cause I always treaded carefully for also obvious reasons) not to be tmi but trouble staying hard and jizzing during sex) Looking at/masturbating to pornography (I have no problem jerking off but I know the porn needs to go. Weed (been smoking more or less everyday for 4 years now. Cigarettes (addicted of course, not much else to say) I feel that in order to start my journey I need to clear or 'reset' my brain and dopamine. I'm a 20 year old male and I realized I need to change a few things if my life is go in the direction I want it to (aka won't achieve my dreams/goals). It's just Friday nights and the stressful times that I need to get used to.I've tried quitting these vices countless times - but it never lasts of course. I'm also enjoying the novelty of having a clearer head as well and feeling generally more awake & vital, so I wouldn't mind hanging on to that for a bit. The only big difference is that I'm being extra-strict in Jan and then will be a little more relaxed in Feb and from there on in. However I like to give myself a head start and I'm motivated now, my birthday is in late Nov so I tend to use that as an excuse to go nuts for party season, then be sick of it all come New Year and I'm happy enough to take the break for Jan.

I won't be going back to normal in Feb - I'm permanently switching to more protein, more veg and less sugar and carbs but will have the occasional weekly treat and bottle of wine then. it just makes no difference if your behaviour is the opposite the other 11 months of the yearįeel good in knowing that having a drink or two, even very regularly isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as you're making sensible choices with regard to what you're drinking and how much etc. The whole Dry/healthy January thing is a massive red-herring. Just from a dieting perspective you're far better off living on an adjusted, but still enjoyable diet the whole year round rather than a one month crash diet and then 'back to normal'.

Quit all vices
