About 180 Habits

This started because the content that existed was rubbish. Clinical pamphlets written by people who'd never had a craving at 3am. Apps built by wellness companies who thought a meditation bell would fix a nicotine addiction. We needed something better. So we built it.

What 180 Habits Is

180 Habits is a set of evidence-based guides, tracking tools, and a community for people quitting alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, cocaine, opioids, gambling, porn, and other habits. It covers the hard stuff — what withdrawal actually feels like, what the research says about cravings, what works and what doesn't. No fluff. No filler.

What "180" Means

A 180 is a change in direction. Not a miracle. Not overnight. Just a decision to go a different way — and then doing the work to get there. That's it. There's no secret formula here. Just better information and tools that make the change slightly less brutal.

The Approach

Every article on this site references real research. Peer-reviewed studies. Clinical guidelines. Data that's been tested. Nothing here is guesswork dressed up as advice.

But it's written like a human wrote it — because one did. Research matters. So does being readable. There's no reason you can't have both.
