Made something for myself to quit gaming, drinking and smoking, and the approach is unusual and not mainstreamed but it kind of works.
I am just simple guy, working as software engineer and as many of us I struggle with certain bad habits. I tried so many things to stop drinking like a crazy, quit smoking and playing meaningless MOBA games. Simply using power of will won't work for me, I just don't have it. Because of the acceptance of lacking self-control, it struck me, why I force myself quitting, I need to replace the bad habit with something else that will give me dopamine, so I built Replacify, I will comment the links in the chat. It provides me with options where I can redirect my focus in moments when urge is strong. Instead of drinking it tells me go for a run, or box breathing, or read a book, etc. Moreover, you build momentum and achieve goals by doing that. I asked few friends of mine to give it a try and they loved it. Would love to hear what you think about it? What would you improve? Curious to know if this method of quitting bad habits works at all or it was just a miracle that it worked for us.
