I think it’s often a good approach to take the time to understand the current situation, understand the future desired situation, and commit to a doable plan to get from the one to the other.
For example, if someone wants to quit cigarettes, they could figure out how many they smoke per day. Now, this week, could they smoke only N-1 per day? Next week, could they smoke only N-2 per day?
Maybe it seems excruciatingly slow, but is it really? Plan it out. Get a calendar and hang it somewhere prominent and write down what is supposed to be taking place each week.
Slow and steady can accomplish anything. No heroics necessary. Just be relentless.
Best wishes to your friend. I often thank my parents for quitting smoking when I was born; if they hadn’t, they’d be gone now, or in absolute ruins healthwise.
