desperate.

The guy that mentioned pray has nailed it. Replace the habit with pray. Or some sort of self reflection, it will allow you to do internal work and after 5 mins you’re good anyways plus you have now done a compounding habit that will translate across all of life.

Have you tried prayer? I have tried countless times stopping on my own and I always fail. The key to success when I have gone on long streaks has truly been taking it to God as soon as I get the temptation. Now I have still failed many times because I get stubborn and think I can do it on my own, but it’s always God who frees me from the temptation.
