REPLACE THE BAD HABIT
Replace the bad habit with a good one. Whenever you remove a bad habit. Replace it with something positive that distracts you and gives you something to look forward. You can’t expect to get your mind off your addiction if you’re not replacing it with some other healthy alternative. Find a positive relaxing technique that you can see “addicted” to such as a productive hobby, physical activity, or healthy food or snack.
JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP
Join a support group. Breaking destructive habits is challenging to do by yourself, so you might want to consider joining a support group. In group setting, you will have the strength and courage while being accountable for such reason AA and WW are so effective.
GET RID OF TEMPTATION
Get rid of temptation. You can’t expect to succeed if you’re surrounded by memories and reminders of your addiction. This means you shouldn’t go to places where the temptation is strong or at least limit your time in these places. This may include fast food courts, the junk food aisle, online stores, liquor stores, bars or other places.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
Seek Guidance with a Professional. Asking for help doesn’t mean that you’re admitting failure, rather it’s about accepting that you need to improve and grow as an individual
