Addiction is so hard. It's also so easy.

You just need a fucking purpose. Get into something that will consume you in a positive way.

Buy a nice backpack, and get into a group with some novice backpackers. If you find the right thing, weaning off addiction is kinda cake. If you don't find the right thing, it's impossible.

Hiking worked for me.

For me it came down to feeling seen within a group and feeling connected to that group through some higher purpose (hiking).
