How to get rid of smoking and drinking?

You have begun: 1st step, desire and seek support to stop a self destructive habit. Be insightful, what does the habit do, to/ for you. Be honest. What does it do against you. Seek knowledge. Make a plan. Make an informed plan. Most importantly us the power of your mind to visualize success. Do not be alone in this.
