Addictions are the worst, it is quite hard to build anything spiritual if one has addictions.
If one can't quit an addiction, he can just make it harder to access it. By making it harder and harder to access, you are effectively slowly pushing it out of your life.
Like if you can't quit a certain app that needs a password, you can make it harder for you to use it:
1 Write a long password on a paper
2 Change the password in that app to that password
3 Put the password in a hard to access place
4 You logout every time you use the app
5 Every time you want to login to that app you will think "Oh it is too hard to get that password right now. I am too lazy for that".
6 Soon you will realize the addiction is gone
This applies to a lot of things.
I was struggling with quitting a PC game. I started uninstalling it after each play. And installing it took like tens of minutes. So every time I wanted to play I had to wait for a long time during the install. Soon, I gave up!
