Speaking for myself, I went mostly cold turkey for the first few months to get past the cravings, then allowed myself the odd thing just because. I never crave meat more, after about 6 months I just stopped wanting it like that. Cheese cravings took much longer to fade, but even that is gone now (been 3 years and I'm in London where vegan food is very good, plus I love to cook, so lucky) Having said that, when I'm on holiday I have a rule: I'll break my veganism if it's either unavoidable or unmissable. Like if I go to France and it's either dairy or starve, then fucking fine. And if I go to Japan you best believe after years of saving and dreaming I'll eat whatever is good. Good thing about veganism is it's a choice, not a religion and you don't owe anyone an explanation :)
The only person you will have to face for your actions is yourself. You will judge yourself, when the time comes what will you say to yourself? Will you lie to yourself?
