There is something called CORE which may or may not work for you. It worked for me. It applies to a bunch of addictive things.
C = Commit. You make a mental commitment that you want to change something - it really matters. It’s a big deal, worth your effort and, well, commitment.
O = Objectify. You notice the inner voice that says, let’s have a drink/donut/videogame etc. And you separate it from the “core you.” It’s just one more voice at the table.
R = Respond. Now that you’ve isolated that “addiction voice,” you come up with an answer to it. Oh, we NEVER do midnight snacks! No, we NEVER drink alone. And you use these answers when the “voice” makes itself heard. It’s outvoted.
E = Enjoy. Learn to breathe and take in your improved life. Let yourself feel great. This helps the addiction voice dwindle away until it’s inaudible.
Again, your mileage may vary, but especially for people turned off by the cult aspects of some of the other programs, CORE may be worth a try. Best of luck to you.
