I have no self control in any area of my life

Alcohol. Food. Smoking. Relationships. Housework.

I'm at the end of my tether.

You CAN do this! Pick one and make small steps. You will gradually gain confidence in yourself again. I was in the same position as you at the beginning of August and I decided that I didn't want to smoke any more. I rang the local smoking cessation team and they helped me to set a date. I have lost almost a stone since then because I seem to have proved to myself that it's my body and its worth looking after. I don't drink but I have a chronic illness and at times I am overly reliant on my painkillers because I get depressed. I have started to get a handle on that too. Thee house is more organised too and I am beginning to enjoy my own company again.
Please do give it a go, it worked for me. I didn't actually plan to change everything in one go, but I felt so much better as soon as I took control of the situation. Try writing out a flexible plan and use it, you have nothing to lose. Best wishes to you.

Humiliatedbutproud is spot on; I've quit smoking using the Alan Carr Easiway method, I spring cleaned, I cut out sugar and most carbs and eat healthily, and I've improved my fitness. I wouldn't have been able to do any of those things all in one go.
My next goal is to lose 1 stone. I've already lost some but its easier to do it one stone at a time.
