How do you control your habits.

Like i got this problem with oversmoking pot. I got a shitload of it right now. So much that i decided that leaving out it about a half mile back in this forest ( for safety reasons also ) will slow down my smoking habit because everytime i wanna smoke, i'll have to walk all the fucking way back there.
It's worked quite a bit, probably cut down the daily amount of pot by a half. But i'd like a more legit way.
Has anyone found a real PRACTICAL method of controlling ones own desires.
It's easy to say will power. But that'd be too easy. I want to know if someone has found a way or a habit to control a desire.

Will power is the answer.
All of my friends smoke.. and I want to smoke as well. I'm at college however.. and the 2 just don't work together. I'm starting to recover from the abuse.. and my mind is starting to clear up a bit.
It also helps to try and convince yourself that its bad.. and that you don't want to do it.. think about all the evil shit its doing to your lungs and what have ya.

Actually will power is not the "easy" way - looking for a "method" is the easy way

Find yourself occasions where you're excited in itself. Bring you in without weed. Then you may use it later, to get a stance to what you've done. For me that's the controlled way of my weed habit.

Also don't tell yourself you have to get high before you go and do anything if you catch yourself thinking "i won't enjoy this unless i smoke" just don't smoke and live with it

I never have had the ability to control a certain habit (narcotics use) so I moved across the country where I have no access to it. Many times habits can grow stronger than the person and drastic measures need to be taken. If you don't have the will power there isn't much of a way to control it, and that makes you and me an addict.
Theres nothing wrong with not being able to control yourself but when you know it and you know your habit is detrimental, thats where a problem can begin.
