I never went to a shrink or a meeting. I simply said I was done. I was tired of the baggage it carried and hurting myself and my friends. It was difficult.. but I found things to replace the addiction. It helped tremendously early on because it would take my mind off of the cravings and the desires to do them. I was on coke pretty heavy.. at one point it was at least an 8ball a day habit.
I'm not going to blow sunshine up your ass and tell you that it's going to be easy.. but seriously, you're taking a huge step in just acknowledging that you have a problem with things. Once you identify the problem you can then start a solution plan to over come the problem.
Exercise is something that a lot of people turn to when they want to overcome an addiction.. partly because it takes your mind off the smoke, but also because it feeds the body and you see the results just like you feel the results when you get high. I turned heavier into music.. and the lives of my friends. I haven't done the candy now for like 4 years or so..
just take it slow and know that know matter what you can always adjust your plan and revamp it if something just isn't working.
