Yes, I'm a recovered alcoholic. I gave that up when I was 23. In more recent years I gave up drinking soda and coffee.
On the other hand I still smoke cigarrettes. I'm stiil in negotiations with my subconscious mind as far as smoking is concerned.
From my personal point of view giving up an addiction requires our subconscious and conscious minds to agree. Those negotiations can take years.
Maybe you could give me your opinion on that as a psychology student.

@Wraithorn Well everyone's different anyway :) I have an addictive personality so giving things up is really difficult.
Luckily, I have never taken up smoking and I only drink a few times a year. My addictions are basically just caffeine and small habits that I have (such as having to check doors three times before I leave home). I used to be addicted to food but I am a lot better with that now. :D

I stopped all soda drinking and drink water with most of my meals, even dinner. A few years ago, I found I could no longer process anything bubbly, including beer and champagne. Get enough indigestion and burps that come out of every hole in your head and the move becomes simple.
