Hi Rod,
Well, the best place that I've found to learn about habits and how to let go of them is in the Buddhist community. A lot of Buddhism is really about just that: Trying to find ways to remove ourselves from our habitual patterns, which is seen as the cause of most of our suffering. Buddhism has been around for 2500 years, so they've developed a ton of techniques to help with that. The basic one that all branches have in common is simple meditation.
Just a thought.
