What are general tips for quitting an addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find a support group: for your specific addiction. AA for alcoholics, GA for gamblers, etc. Let them help you assess the addiction and refer you to providers who are specialists in your area. (Check with your insurance carrier first to make sure the doc is on your plan.) Quitting an addiction is complex and multilayered. Treatment approaches succeed when they are longer term, especially for long-term habits.
