Here is an older thread about helping people Change Habits by first deciding what tendency they have. Would abstaining completely be a method that works for you?...or better to allow yourself a small amount once a week? Many good tips about Diet from Gretchen Rubin, how to change habits for good. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=468195 http://www.gretchenrubin.com/wp-con...ng_onesheet.pdf

I am blessed to live in a community with amazing in person support. One woman I met through a local group has gone on to be a voice for the Ketogenic lifestyle, and focuses her articles published at DietDoctor on various psychological aspects of changing diet habits, commitment, etc.
Her "failure story" has inspired many. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=470795
