Friend-
If lasting change is what you seek, then starve the things you want to die, and nurture the things you want to grow. I cannot put it to you anymore simply than that. Trying to moderate drugs and/or alcohol use is like asking a mouse to put a bell around a cat's neck.
Sounds simple...until you try and do it.
As with everything, today will always be
the most important day. Can you not drink or smoke for just one day? If so, you're off to a great start.
Astronomical changes usually come from tiny beginnings.
