Have you ever tried to get rid of an addiction?

I have nothing in particular in my mind but it could be anything from drugs to smoking, alcohol or chewing tobacco which is one of the worst habits in my country. Please describe how did you succeed doing so?

I use to be addicted to sweets but after seeing the struggles of diabetics, I decided to quit sweets. I do not want my legs to be amputated.

As a young child I found comfort in sucking my thumb, it was something that family members tried to get me to stop but I just couldn't, until it dawned on me that at the age of 11 I realized I was too old to be doing that. I just quit, cold turkey, now I know my ex-habit is not at all what you guys are probably talking about, but unless that person decides they want to stop, it just wont happen, inclusive of them reverting back to it.

Of course, porn movies haha xD

I don't have any kind of addiction. The only thing that I am addicted to, if it can be called an addiction, is riding bike. I love riding bikes in speed. Many people say this interest does not suit for a girl. However, I always believe that there is no gender for having any interest.

I used to be addicted to shopping. I'm glad I overcame it now but it was a stress reliever. Now that I'm tight on money I see the value of money.

Of course, porn movies haha xD

So did you manage to get rid of that habit or still watching them LOL? I mean porn movies is not as bad as some other habits like drugs, over drinking (even drinking in moderation is not bad) smoking heavily etc.

I smoke ciggerates everyday been meaning to stop smoking but I just cant help it.

I used to be addicted to salty foods. I had dangerously high blood pressure and I needed to stop. I actually stopped buying salty foods whenever I went out and put the money I would spend on it in a box. Seeing the money grow made me want to quit buying too many sweets even now.

Honestly saying I have no habit from you listed above. So I am happy. I have problem of tonsil whenever I drink cold drinks. But honestly they are hard to avoid during summer. So sometimes I go for it and in the end I have to suffer.
