Negative thinking is addiction's great ally. Quitting is hard. Failing is easy, especially if we believe it when we tell ourselves it is going to happen, or when we fall for our guilt trips.

There are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques that will help combat negative thinking. But basically it comes down to this: Thinking doesn't make it so.
