      Just do it gradually. Cut out your favorites and worst offenders one at a time and wait as long as you need to cut the next one. Replace with good stuff and eventually the new approach becomes habitual and you don't miss it anymore.

          OH God, and here I am a coffee and nicotine addict, although my sugar and salt intake is pretty low as I cut out both the Tim Horton's donuts (famous Canadian coffee/donut chain that's everywhere) and my real favourite, CHEETOS!!!!! No booze either.

              While i think about it, also think about over the counter medication you may or may not use, i have found quite a few few to be so detrimental to playing snooker

                    I switched to decaff coffee about five years ago and the withdrawal symptons were awful, had a thick head for a fortnight. Was far easier quitting smoking, that didn't bother me in the slightest, easiest thing I ever did, simply stopped with no bother at all.

                      Best alternatives if you MUST have sugar are dates (go visit a middle eastern grocer), and raw cane sugar. Dates aren't that bad, but the sugar intake needs to be monitored. Honey is great in limited amounts in your coffee/tea as well.

                        its about exchanging habits. if your on the fag, drink and coffe ritual day in and out you could exchange them for fruit, nuts and walking instead. but if your hunched over looking at the floor or spitting sawdust at the end of every day, then shuv the fruit and open a can

                          I must admit the fags didn't bother me as much, I just came home told the mrs I had packed in lobbed the fags in the bin, never touched another one, never missed them either, after three days the cravings eased and I only thought about them every couple of hours but it soon passed and after a couple of weeks it was over.

                              It wasn't for snooker LB, I have only been playing for two years this month(roughly), I was working up the fells and felt a bit wobbly, said to myself either the fags have to go, or I'm going to go lol, I was a very very heavy smoker, but very active(played football into my thirties etc and walked for miles in my job) so kind of got away with it for years, but I never touched another one from that moment, I have recently had a thorough going over at the doctors including chest X-rays and blow test things to measure lung capacity and apparently I have the lungs of a thirty year old, so that's nineteen years younger than what I am, so I have been very lucky.
