Addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder. long term consumption of any addictive substances causes changes in your brain that makes it hard to quit despite strong will.
You will need medications and psychological therapy to teach you how to manage craving and prevent relapses into the same habit.
Reading motivational books alone will not be helpful in getting over this problem.
