My current thoughts on this are :
to stop any unhealthy behaviour that we know is not good for us, we have to want it to stop enough to do whatever it takes to stop.
The part of our brain telling us to stop has to win over the one that tells us to carry on.
And maybe some people can never want it enough? Or rather, cannot want it enough every day for the rest of their lives ...
