The key to controlling is being aware of. What you described is what 
I've found to be the superior way to do this. The rest is pure 
Willpower. What is important in all cases is that you make a choice, 
and then you stick with it no matter what. Breaking your own promises 
is a dangerous practice.

It has to do with both physical and psychological symptoms. The 
greatest threat is temptation. Think about the alcoholic in the 
liquer store; what decides his course of action?

Other than that, I saw that others had posted some excellent remarks 
on this.
