For alcohol, throttling the bottles worked for me. I consume one particular day of the week instead of any random day. I consciously say no to any urges/temptations in between. This has helped me to control my habit. For controlling distractions, other hobbies like music or something else apart from programming keeps me ticking. For internal distractions - I agree with the post. Separate me from problem I am trying to solve.
