So true..You've basically hit upon the cycle (or stages) of change model by Prochaska & DiClemente, which is often used with addictions (and has a very good evidence base).
www.addictioninfo.org/articles/11/1/Stages-of-Change-Model/Page1.html
People who are dependent on gum/patches etc are often in stage three, whereas what you are describing is stage four. If you can get yourself there psychologically, its a whole different ballgame.
