The Easier Softer way, at a heavy cost I have put together just over a decade of not drinking or using anything, the isum of Alcoholism, its still there, I had 10 years sober or dry before so I know I can loose it fast.
My mind still wants something to pacify it, I know its a lack of spiritual well being, daily I pray for completeness and a goid connection to God as I understand him. I'll have to Deal with this tge rest of my life, if I work with others it Helps very much. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Get in to a step study.for 12 steps.
If some part of my mind tells me it wants something to pacify it, I simply tell it to get lost. Just dismiss that brain fart, don’t feed into it, and carry on with your life. Works 90% of the time. If not, I check if I’m not hungry, thirsty, tired or bored. Then respond accordingly.
