The 12 Step Process To Beating Addiction

I know that everyone has their demons fellas and their poison. I had it myself in Alcohol & Drugs. The best thing about this is that you and any time can make the CHOICE and choose to do things different and build better. Here is a proven 12 step process that if it's implemented can take your life to the next level. I'm not saying that it's going to be easy but definitely an option worth considering.

1. Radical Honesty

Call it what it is. If a behaviour is costing you health, money, relationships, or self-respect, it’s an addiction. Half-truths keep it alive.

2. Non-Negotiable Decision

You don’t try to quit. You decide it’s no longer an option. Cutting back is just delaying relapse.

3. Remove Access

Delete apps, block sites, cut contacts, change routines. If access is easy, failure is likely.

4. Change Your Environment

Willpower loses to environment. New routes, new schedule, new places, new people if required.

5. Replace Dopamine

You can’t remove dopamine, only redirect it. Hard training, long walks, cold exposure, and meaningful work replace cheap hits.

6. Structure the Day

Unstructured time feeds addiction. Wake time, training, work blocks, meals, and sleep must be planned.

7. Expect Withdrawal

Anxiety, boredom, irritability are normal. This is your brain recalibrating, not a reason to relapse.

8. Kill the Negotiation

“I deserve it” is the addiction talking. Stress, success, or boredom don’t justify self-destruction.

9. Track Streaks

Ignore feelings. Track days clean, sessions trained, sleep quality, and money saved. Momentum comes from proof.

10. Add Accountability

Isolation keeps addiction alive. Tell someone who won’t coddle you — coach, mentor, or group.

11. Build Identity

You don’t quit a habit, you change who you are. “I don’t do that anymore” becomes law.

12. No Romanticising

You didn’t lose anything — you escaped. One slip reopens the cage. Stay structured and moving forward.
