Fill The Void, then quit your addictions
After seeing countless people struggle with their bad habits including myself in the past, I realized that in my opinion, THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is to identify WHY your addiction exists, and then solve the root issue. I made a video on my YouTube channel that explains exactly how you can do this for yourself:

@JohnThomas Jones Amazing, keep your ambitions high
Don't expect superpowers, or else you'll relapse out of disappointment
Reaching that magical 90-day streak goal will not grant you the ability to fly. I'm saying this after 540+ days of being porn free, for example. I spent years consuming content trying to figure out how to quit my bad habits, and I'll be sharing the most important thing I learnt. The mindset that helped me quit was: "I do not do ___ since all areas of my life are better without it." It wasn't: "I am trying to quit ___ since it will directly fix all of my problems in life" After helping a couple of people out in trying to quit and listening to their stories, I now understand that the main reason people end up falling back into the endless cycle of relapse after relapse is because their mindset is holding them back. They think as if they are addicted (which makes sense, since they are) but if you truly want to break free for good, you have to think as if you've already succeeded. Don't say "I'm trying to quit", instead say "I simply do not do that stuff". And WHY do you simply not do that stuff? That's for you to figure out. But I can tell you for sure that you get to quit once and for all as soon as you've realized a greater purpose for your life, rather than trying to reach a certain streak number. Understand WHY you're addicted. Is it because you lack purpose in life? Are you stressed? Whatever the case is, make it your mission to solve the root issue, and you'll automatically increase your streak (at which point it's basically irrelevant since there are other things to focus on, as in my experience) For example, the main reason I chose to quit bad habits was to become a better entrepreneur/content creator, and I can't reach my lifelong goal with addictions on the side. And of course, there are other things I wish to improve- family, physical health, etc. And understand that every relapse is just a stepping stone towards a better life, so long as you're improving gradually. Don't look at relapses as reasons to hate your life, please.

What are you replacing your bad habits with?
Perhaps the most important step in quitting addictions is replacing them. For me, I was able to quit my bad habits by spending most of my time on content creation online, and the other activities included working out/exercising, reading, and sleeping earlier. So, what are you focusing on instead of your bad habits? Let us know with a comment below 👇

@Cristiano De angelis Great. What would be your main passion that you replace it with, though?
What CUES are causing you to relapse?
I can say from experience that cues are such a simple thing to get rid of yet they contribute so much to relapsing for any bad habit. Here is 1 example of a cue for each of my previous addictions: - Porn: Certain Instagram pictures and YouTube videos - Sugar/Junk food: Seeing advertisements about them - Phone addiction: seeing my phone on the table when I woke up As soon as I got rid of these cues (which barely took effort), it became a lot easier to quit. So comment down below what your cues are and let's work towards cutting them out 💪 (Check the CHANGING YOUR ENVIRONMENT course in the Classroom tab for more)
What’s the biggest challenge you face in quitting your bad habits?
