Over eating/drinking/smoking etc, are all just forms of rebellious behavior surely !? Giving the finger to society's norms - which we all do sometimes - but then getting into a vicious circle of repetition because of the short-lived benefits.
My friends who have quit smoking have (mostly) used Mr Carr's book, which "sells" the benefits of not-smoking. You are told NOT to attempt giving up until you have read the whole book, or you won't be sufficiently re-programmed to succeed.
IMHO, we all become what we WANT to be; higher aspirations are just dreams and we don't really want/need them.
