Breaking Bad Habits

I often hear people says “if you really want to quit [insert detriment] you would.”

That’s a lie.

People who get hooked on illicit drugs or other harmful behaviors aren’t devoid of common sense. 99% of them know what they are doing is physical and/or mentally toxic, yet for reasons, either chemically or habitually, they cannot break away from it.

The solution is not in whether the individual wants to quit, yet rather if said individual is willing to do whatever it takes to quit, which is substantially more difficult.
