How to quit an addiction?

I had a sugar addiction, by that I also mean eating pure sugar. I stopped by making myself feel sick on purpose whenever I was craving a little too much until I stopped.

Fighting addiction is no simple feat, i speak from experience, i've had alot of them some alot worse then others, I still have some addictions but i've worked really hard to either minimalize or cut out some of my worse ones, as someone who's beaten at least some of my addictions and fighting others for over 10 years, my advice is dont try to do it alone, try to develope a support community around you (by community i dont mean it has to be the whole town, just a few really solid people in your life willing to help you) let them know how you're struggling, even if there is just ONE person you know you can rely on it will increase your chances of winning by 10 fold! Mind you this isn't the save all end all solution, just relying on others isn't going to solve it completely, it depends on what type of addiction it is, there are a few exceptions where isolating yourself can be the best option as well, There is so much more advice i could give but this message is long enough already. Stay strong and im rooting for ya, if you ever see this id love to know how everything turned out for you, or if my advice was helpful at all, i'd hate to know if my advice ever made things worse when i only ever have good intentions! If your interested in having someone to talk to about it i am always open to conversation about it Just DM me. Anyways Good Luck!!!!! :3

I have a family of addicts and started really bad habits young because I had easy access to things. By 15 I was drinking, smoking cigarettes and weed. By 19 I tumbled into harder drugs. I think I abused the shit out of everything daily because of pure depression. I still had years of my life wasted and I think I got pretty close to death at one point. Then an older sibling OD'd from the pills we shared. I kinda just dropped everything after that. I stopped smoking too just by setting a date when I had an extended break from work when I could deal with the nicotine withdrawal. Not going out and spending my money like that is easy tbh. Tackling depression fixed most things. Now I look back and am both horrified and fond of the old days tho, being a weeb druggie was a fascinating and sometimes beautiful time. I still wouldn't go back to it.
