The notion of 'habit discontinuity' in the linked article agrees with my experience. In 2004, I quit smoking. I had quit multiple times before, but it didn't stick. I am convinced that the key reason this time around was the fact that I had just changed jobs and so was in the process of figuring out (inter alia) a new workday routine - and could therefore incorporate changes such as NOT stepping out for a cigarette at 11am and 2pm. I've been smoke-free since then. Udhay [1] https://hbr.org/2021/08/the-3-phases-of-making-a-major-life-change -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
