Several people have hinted at it, but what you must work on is making your 'bad habits' directly relate to so much pain that you will force yourself to give them up.
Right now they are linked to pleasure that is bigger than the pain you associate to them.
How you relate them to pain is different for different people.
For me, I was able to stop a bad eating habit by linking that habit to a very close friend dying of a hideous disease. I actually went over the association in my mind again and again each day for several days until I found my mind no longer wanted that bad food as much anymore.
Unfortunately, you have felt how strongly bad habits can be ingrained in our psyche, so it often takes something pretty dramatic to change - for me, that is increasing the pain associated with that bad habit until your mind is forced to comply.
