Giving up

Look at your lifestyle

Think about when and where you would most crave a fix. When you're out with friends? Or at home relaxing? When you're feeling stressed or upset? If you know you'll be most tempted then try to steer clear of those situations.

Save your money and your life

Even if you don't think of yourself as an addict, but just think you should cut down, you'll still have to make adjustments to your routine to make sure you don't get too tempted. It can be tough to keep a clear head when everyone else around you is losing their's. We've put together some things you can do to help you on your way:

Tell the people around you - Letting your mates know that you want to kick the habit gives you more resolution to stick to it. It also gives you more encouragement and support and make them less likely to tempt you.

Change your routine - Knowing when you'll be most tempted means you can try to avoid that siutation for a while. It doesn't have to be forever, just until you're feeling stronger about quitting and are better able to resist temptation.

Get busy - Avoiding situations where you might be tempted is one thing but it'll be much more difficult to quit if you're left sitting around by yourself. So think about how you could fill your time. Be creative, try new things, spend time with people who support you in your decision and do things your addiction would've otherwise prevented.
