I’ve noticed that if I say “I won’t do this anymore at all”, it doesn’t work. But if I say “I’ll only spend this much this month on sex workers, gambling, etc.” I’m able to mellow down. I’ve also noticed some people suggest that moderation doesn’t work and you should try to be as cold turkey as possible.
It depends on the person and life situation.
Some people have better self control than others.
If you have a chill and safe life it’s much easier to use for fun rather than compulsively.
