We have all wanted to do something at some point that required a degree of willpower. It might be losing weight or trying to save for a vacation. Sometimes we will use friends as motivators and sometimes you might make a deal with yourself, "if I lose 10 pounds by my friends wedding I will reward myself with a night out"
These are called commitment devices and I came across this service online that is also a commitment device. You simply enter your goal and then enter an amount of money. If you don't meet your goal your money is donated to charity, or to a friend, or whatever. Additionally, you can add friends to be informed of your progress to help cheer you on or to get on your case if you are falling off the wagon.
I haven't tried it myself but I think StickK is an interesting idea and might be the motivator that helps you achieve that elusive goal. Check it out!
