I cannot stop doing everything that is bad for me in excess.. HELP!?

Question:

I drink too much (which I have been cutting down on lately), I smoke too many cigarrettes, eat too much crappy food that just makes me feel like sh$t all the time, I sleep wierd hours and restlessly too, and spend money frivolously.. What the hell is wrong with me, and how can I stop?? I have wanted to desperately stop these indulgences for years but feel that my vices have too much power over me. Any suggestions? Are there any medications out there that may help with this?

Answers:
You need to want to make the changes.

My boyfriend is a bit like what you are describing- with many things he is a all or nothin man, he can have just one drink he has to have 10.

With the diet and health problems, you could try doing a detox which requires you to NOT consume anything bad for a certain period of time. this will allow your body to learn new habots for what you will feed your body. Bad diet can also cause sleep problems...

You may be able to get a medication to help. I eat WAYYYYY too much sugary foods and I was going to see if there was a medication to help me but I did a 15 day detox and now I have no more sugar cravings...

GOOD LUCK, and remember you need to want to change before you will change

Control yourself. Nobody is going to save you. It's your life.

There are some medications out there that may help you with some of your problems. If you don't have will power no medication will help. My mother in law was the same way as you, she drank, smoked like a chimney, and she ate what ever she wanted although she was diabetic, well she died alone in her home last Tuesday or Wednesday, we didn't find her until Wednesday. She was only 66 years old, and would be here today if she had made the decision you are trying to make. Moderation is the key. Good Luck!
