What’s your best advice for getting over an addiction of any type?

Understand that getting over an addiction isn't a straight line. There will be setbacks but over time your ability to overcome will get stronger the more you make better choices. It's easier to do if you change your environment. Sometimes people and places make it too difficult to avoid temptation. You need supportive people in your life. When you are having desires, understand the psychology of what is going on. Know that we can change what our brain thinks and what we do in response. As we change our automatic response the brain creates new pathways, learning new responses.
