All types of bad habits... the inner demons spring into action the moment we invoke negative thoughts in life! Having a sunny disposition and godly thinking kills the inner demons forever. Leading a life full of positive emotions is the only way out of bad habits. Napoleon hill... the master of positive thinking was an exemplary positive thinker of his times.
His books, "think can grow rich", "master key to riches" and "law of success" are Bible books in the field of positive thinking and spirituality. To think positive is leading a life of happiness! Positive thinkers are born optimists! They always perceive the glass half full. Those indulging in negative emotions... perceive the glass half empty leading to unhappiness!
Lust is best controlled following the path of celibacy. Celibacy is voluntary control over sexual indulgence. Involuntary celibacy must never be practiced nor advocated! The moment we understand the true meaning of celibacy... all becomes clear! The celibacy mantra helps us control the inborn sexual inhibitions!
The power of auto suggestion greatly helps one overcome deficiencies in working. Whatever is the level of desires... total control over senses and the mind can be established by positive thinking and the power of auto suggestion. Both the arts of positive thinking and auto suggestion are dealt with in detail by Napoleon hill in his several books.
The most essential part of life is having a goal in life! In absence of a goal... our inner demons... our innate tendencies become superficially active! Having a goal in life is journey half covered. Optimists never leave anything in life to chance! We have only one life to live! Live it now! One never knows what we shall be in the next manifestation.
Almost 99% people world over never form a goal in life! In absence of a goal... life becomes like a rudderless boat going round and round in the ocean! In whatever stage of life we may be... forming a goal at the earliest is the essence of life. Only in the absence of a goal... our innate tendencies become hyperactive. Why feed negative emotions in life! Life is too short for that! More on Celibacy - http://www.godrealized.com/celibacy.html

Understanding what should be done and not be done and why. Realizing that the thing we are doing that is "Bad" is causing us more suffering than good and to understand who we are in reality.-
We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) Which is the purification process to get rid of all unwanted things within (demons as yo described) and which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can return to the eternal Kingdom where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy.

I don't see any "inner demons". Hell, I don't even see any 'bad habits'.
sloth - if you're feeling tired all the time talk to your doctor. You may be suffering from an undiagnosed illness - it happened to me.
gluttony - entirely subjective. I came accross your question earlier tonight - and it made me run for Haagen-Dasz ice cream (before the corner store closed, lol!).
lust - (aka 'state of arousal) a natural, biological mechanism designed to get us interested in a little species procreation. No state of arousal, no procreation.

start thinking what your real needs are and you have these inner demons...
i would say you (like anyone else) need love (not sexual, but real true unconditional love)
start giving some around. its a great feeling and for sure you'll get some back.
this practice will keep you occupied and you will not think how to overcome inner demons...they will vanish, or just be at the beginning of the road you already passed...
...then you can turn your head for a second and wave them goodbye with a sweet smile...you "won", but it doesn't really matter anymore...

First, do you think it's possible for anyone to not have inner demons? Because, if you don't, my answer won't mean anything to you. I have none. In my case, I have none because I know the things that create my inner harmony, & that's the natural way I live. If someone feels they have "demons," & those demons are adversely affecting their lives, they'll get rid of them. It's as simple as taking out the garbage. Something just came to mind, one of the many things my mother used to say--I believe this is from the bible, (she was very religious), & seems apropos here. "If thy right eye offends thee, pluck it out." After all this time having forgotten--I think there's much wisdom in it.

I rationalize them away. For instance, sloth just another way to say I'm relaxing. Gluttany is just a love for tasty food. Lust, heh, well what is wrong with that?

I don't think you can overcome anything until you learned that it was so wrong, and you usually learned it in a hard way.

They're only bad habits to me if I think of them that way.
If I want to change something about myself, I simply change it as it isn't something that I believe is something that is a part of me.

Pray...which lately has been really hard. There must be a really negative energy over me right now.
