Well, it depends on whether you are the type of person who can give something up right away or whether it takes time for you to adjust. You could try giving up meat a certain number of days per week, or give yourself one day a month when you can have meat. Eventually you will eat less and less meat.
Don't eat meat substitutes and think that they should taste just like meat. Foods like veggie burgers and fake chicken patties aren't ever going to taste the same as birds and cows. When you try a veggie burger, instead of thinking, "Does this taste like cow meat?", ask yourself, "Do I like how it tastes?" Once you stop expecting veggie foods to taste like meat, you will be able to enjoy more of them.
Good luck!
