Check out the book "The Power of Habit" - it goes into findings and science behind lasting change. It is an interesting read, and not just dry science. Edit: S

  Summary: It's about cue, routine, reward. You can't change the cue and reward, but you can modify the routine. Also the reward is often not what you think. Like some people may be alcoholics, the cue might be loneliness and the reward might be sex. It could be a habit started from bars. But later on trigger when someone has had a busy week and not enough company. Or it could continue until someone is deeply inebriated, as long as they don't meet someone. The fix would be changing the routine, like replacing alcohol with Coke, or replacing sex with pornography. Some solutions are not perfect, but behavior change boils down to this. You can also set up good habits with cue habit reward. Just keep it consistent.
