Whenever i want to stop doing something i just do more. That way i forget about it.

Alternatively, give up something you like more at the same time. You’ll busy thinking about the more important thing you’ll forget that other thing you were giving up.

Great blog by the way.

I like the fancy new look. I used to drink up to 8 cups of coffee a day – now THAT is an addict! I slowly weened myself off the liquid gold by ‘just saying no’ to my Mum/Boss/BF and all the other “drugpushers” in my life. I now rest at 1-2 cups a day with no ill affects… other than the occasional blonde moment!

Sounds counterintuitive, but it works every time I start smoking regularly. Failing that, pumpkin seeds :)

Change the pattern: Drink your one-cup-a-day out of a different mug, sitting a different place or at different times every day. Take a walk instead (good for headaches). Have a ‘consequence’ if you cheat (you have to run five miles, donate a lot of time or money to a good cause, finish some large chore) and stick to it. And rewards – LOTs of rewards. Things that are good for you, but sensually pleasing: a special movie or meal, splurging on really good chocolates. You need short-term treats for making it through a bad day without, and medium-term just for making it through the whole week without, to a really special reward for making it through the first month (a full-body massage? You might be able to afford it on all the savings ;). And if the headaches don’t go away, and you decide it wasn’t the coffee after all (I get lots, and giving up caffeine didn’t help), then console yourself with a second cup and read some articles about all the health benefits of drinking coffee!
