I order to break addictions you have to limit yourself first.
Continue to do what you do, but limit yourself little by little first so it's not such a drastic change that could cause depression.
find something u like to do that is a positive and try to get addictive to that , and stay addictive to it
First off, if you're 20 and have your own income, you need to move out of your parent's house and live on your own.
Then you need to talk to a professional about this problem. The details are kind of sketchy, but I'm getting a feeling either of avoidance behavior or anxiety-driven distraction, but it would take more work to figure it out. See a physician first, and ask for some Wellbutrin to help you with the smoking, then get a referral to a psychologist for the rest of it.
Just chill out. It sounds like you are creating your own stress. If you think you are an addict, then you need to get some help. Before anything, help yourself. Marijuana is probally not a good thing either. Look within yourself. Find yourself. Then start from that point. Don't be afraid to ask for help. There are many support systems out there. Remember, you are doing this for yourself. If you are not happy with your life, you can change it. Good Luck

I have that type personality, like if I start something, finish or die trying... I'm 39 and I guess I'm beginning to enjoy my crazy tendencies, just use them productively or talk to a doctor. It's something like an extreme case of bi-polar, the meds don't help a lot so I quit taking them. I lost the use of my arm for a year, I built a 40' walkway with concrete stepping stones, river rock and cross ties, I did it in 8 hours from start to finish. Finally it started working again, I think it's a rotator cuff, oh well, it works again...
I was a smoker for 25 years and I had quit smoking for over six times ,but never really quit smoking before.Just after I read that quit smoking program, I realized how easy quitting smoking was.I am a non-smoker now! I highly recommend this program to you.It really works.You can check out http://quit-smoking-in-3-hours.info...
Good luck!
