Instructions
Step 1
Understand yourself. State your problem clearly. Realize your addiction. Understanding this fact will give you a chance to find freedom from the need to obey it. It will also help you come up with a plan of action to get rid of your addiction that is holding you back from your life.
Step 2
Do whatever is necessary to avoid being financially dependent. This will give you the opportunity to make all the important decisions yourself, without submitting to someone else's will. Also, financial independence will make your daily life more convenient. You will solve current affairs and everyday issues as you see fit. To do this, find a job that could provide you with a constant and sufficient income.
Step 3
Stop paying too much attention to other people's opinions. Allow only a theoretical opportunity to take note of them. Implement your own decisions, even if they go against the majority opinion. Being dependent on the opinion of the crowd robs you of your individuality. Remember that your life is only your business. No one can know better than you what exactly you need.
Step 4
Get rid of bad habits. Quitting smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drugs will give you confidence in your abilities. Doing this will raise your self-esteem and add respect to yourself. In addition, you will have a lot of extra time that you can use for further self-improvement. Do what you love, allow yourself to spend time and money on your hobbies. All this will lead to new acquaintances, a different circle of friends and will allow you to meet like-minded people.
Step 5
Don't let yourself be addicted to the other person's friendship or love. Develop self-sufficiency in yourself. When you are away from someone close to you, avoid stressful conditions. This will not correct the situation, it will only harm your mental and physical health. Take separation for granted. Tell yourself that some time will pass and you will meet again. Distract yourself with other problems, get busy solving them.
Step 6
Learn to relax when you need it. Look for more and more new facets in the world around you. Learn to see the beauty around you. Learn several ways to relax. This can be your favorite music, breathing exercises or auto-training. The main thing is that you can keep your emotions under control and not succumb to the negative provocations of others. Such training will allow you to cultivate self-discipline in yourself and not to succumb to addictions in the future.
