asthma -breaking the habit

i have had asthma since i was a little kid and so all my life i have been on inhalers however as i have grown up i find that i need them less and less and i was told by my doctor that i no longer needed to take them every day as i have done and only when i require them. This may all be well and good but i am so used to doing it that when i do not take it i often find it hard to sleep as i am worrying about having not taken it and what happens if i have an attack. for me taking it has become a safety mechanism and i cant stop so i was wondering if anyone can help me get over this as i dont need to be taking it and so i dont want to be putting drugs into my body unnecessarily.
sorry for that being really long by the way

It was only 4 months ago that i had another attack that put me in hospital for a week. I still dont take docs advise and take this inhaler at that time blah blah, because to be honest im fine.
