First learn a lot about why these addictions happen. All these platforms are designed to depress you and stress you first and then reward you with short lived entertainment so you continue to use them. Then commit to reducing things that give you that dopamine rush so quickly ,less time on socials ,porn ,music ,movies etc . More time with no noise ,meditating ,then slowly things like reading books taking walks etc will feel enjoyable again . But it takes a lot of work really it truly is an addiction I think most people suffer from without even realising and it was only ever exaggerated since Covid and making things like work and school depend on technology too
