How to quit an addiction?

Hey, everyone. I was curious if anyone here has ever cut out an addiction successfully and had any tips that could help myself do the same.

Realize the implications of addictions before it's too late. I used to play games up to 3.am, just got bored doing it and realized how unhealthy it is, now I sleep early.

The easiest way is to recognize the cycle of habit/addiction. After that, you can choose the most convenient part of the cycle to cut out. In most cases, it's your friend group. No matter how nice they may be, if they also have the habit/addiction they're only going to drag you down with them.

You gotta starve the beast. Realize addiction is just covering up bad feelings or distracting you from those feelings. You got to embrace yourself.

For me the easiest way is just to stop like i used to smoke for a few years and i was just like fuck this im not doing this anymore im not gona ruin myself i guess you need a strong will for that but just force yourself to stop you are in control of your own life no substance or thing is
