I've definitely tried it. The issue I've encountered is that I substitute it with some other distraction, such as my phone, and it appears to be an endless cat and mouse game. I'd like a solution that satiates the craving, rather than configuring countless locks. To adhere to the addiction analogy: As a substitute for a cigarette, I'd like a pen to hold, rather than abstinence by throwing the pack in a safe that I know the combination to. Even if I entrusted someone else with the combination, the unfulfilled craving and the knowledge of where to find a fix, have proven difficult to separate.
