Anyone here manage to permanently rid themselves of addiction that was destroying their lives?

I'm talking any addiction – porn, sex, alcohol, drugs, weed, tobacco, etc.

How did you do it?

I was addicted to video games from ages 8 to 15 to the point where I'd spend almost 20 hours per day playing and when I was sleeping I would sleepwalk as if my brain was trying to replicate the video game characters. One day I had enough, bricked my steam account by changing the password and deleting the recovery email. Threw away all my consoles and games. Had withdrawal symptoms for like 1 year after. Haven't played for over 10 years now.

I was addicted to quoting Genesis songs through my teen years but, take a look at me now.
