How do you break a habit of a lifetime..?

[WildHorse]

Resolute force of will - make it a challenge within yourself to see how long you can go without doing that thing, & feel satisfaction at your triumph

Don't associate with people / places that pull you into repetition of the habit

Do associate with people who don't have the habit

Eh, I was making a too subtle reference to Cruise's spat with Matt Lauer about psychiatry. Seems Cruise isn't a big believer in psychiatry, and shock therapy in particular.

I know you made the comment in jest anyway, but I was just trying to tack on another joke.

Of course, if you have to explain the joke, then it probably isn't funny in the first place! 🙂

doing nothing is not easy

Bordom is an issue. However, one can find a more desirable activity to do in place of the one they want to give up. For example, if you feel the urge to smoke, why not do 30 pushups or something?

because I doubt a regular smoker would be able to do 30000000000000000 pushups a day?

Be careful what you say. Tom Cruise is going to hunt you down.

Don't be glib!!@!
