1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
Addictions aren't bad, there are good addictions, and there are bad addictions. However, while virtually no one will like to stop a good addiction, almost everyone involved in a bad/negative addiction at some point in time will always look for how to stop. You can be addicted to anything, but once it becomes something against your divinity, your health, and humanity, it becomes a cause of concern. The first thing to know in breaking addictions are "addictions are broken with other addictions". An addiction is an action that takes over the brain and could have an effect on the body over a period of time. If you possibly struggle to stop an addiction, the first thing you must know is for you to stop that addiction, you must replace it with another, addictions thrive on repetition. However, often times its not so easy to stop negative addictions. The first basic thing to do is " Pray", the scripture above shows there's no temptation that's too strong to overcome you. Secondly, find someone to talk to, someone you can trust, talking about addictions is the first step to deciding to quit. No addiction supersedes the will to quit, however, there is a process.
Now, being a mental thing, you have to consciously change your focus on that by creating another thought pattern in your mind. Addictions are replaced with addictions. No bad addiction can ever stand against the power of a good addiction, and good addictions can often times also be submerged by bad ones. You're the referee of your life, you determine what you want and what you don't. Do have a great day.
