This 3-step framework cures any addiction
Two years ago, I hated school. I studied for 6 hours a day and still got mid results. I binged YouTube every night. I felt hopeless — like no matter how much I tried, I was stuck. Today? - I get straight A’s studying for less than 2 hours/day - I scored a perfect PSAT - I’ve uploaded 250+ videos on my YT channels - And I finally enjoy life again If you just give this post your full attention for 5 minutes, you can literally copy-paste my results. Let me show you how to cure any addiction, using the same 3-step method I used to escape hours of binging YouTube. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ✦ Step 1: Rebuild your self-image I once told a friend, “I’ve been kinda lazy lately.” And he just stared at me like I was stupid. “Bro, you’re a machine. You don’t slack. You finish shit faster than anyone I know.” And something just clicked. He was right. That wasn’t me — I wasn’t the guy scrolling YouTube, slacking on goals, wasting time. The real me? I’m the productivity machine. The kid who gets shit done. And ever since that moment, every time I catch myself slipping, I just remember: “That’s not me.” ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Here’s my point: If you’re trying to quit scrolling, don’t say “I’m trying to quit scrolling.” Say: “I don’t scroll.” You’re not a gamer. You’re not a sugar addict. You’re not “trying” to quit. You already did. That one shift changes everything. Change your identity → change your habits. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ✦ Step 2: 2-Day Solo Detox Before you tell the world you’ve quit… Prove it to yourself. For 48 hours: No sugar. No reels. No games. No YouTube. Don’t tell anyone. Just do it. For me, I tested my willpower by turning down Indian sweets at home (you know the ones loaded with sugar 💀). At school, I turned down sugary brunch food without a second thought. And after 2 days? “Wait… I can do this.” It gave me the confidence to go full 30 days — and that’s where the real results came in. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ✦ Step 3: Tell Everyone Once you prove it to yourself, now it’s time to prove it to the world.
