I hear you. Wanting to stop and actually stopping are two different fights, and the gap between them is where most of us get stuck. It usually comes down to making a real decision, not just a wish, and then building something around that decision so it doesn't rely on willpower alone. What's made it hardest for you day to day?

Dig deep and find a support group or program you can get into.

Don’t give up

Have to change everything you’re doing. You’re route, environment, friends and mindset. Make a plan and no matter what stick to it. The opposite of addiction is connection. Detox snd then treatment an option?
