It’s a choice bro it’s that simple. If you make it two weeks without doing any of those you have created a new normal and deviating from it feels weird. Best of luck.

It is very difficult to just stop all addictions.

I found you can do it through substitution. Replace the addictions you dont want to keep with ones that are more useful or less harmful.

You can find your own but maybe drinking orange juice instead of pepsi, playing video games (I prefer online chess which is less time commitment) instead of sleeping, or jogging/swimming which release endorphins instead of fapping for the dopamine rush. To avoid sleeping in, indulge in your favourite dessert for breakfast first thing. It will motivate to wake up and get going.

I find things like these compound. So bad habits compound but also so does good habits. So for me once I focus on fasting. So I set alarm at 8 every night I don't eat after 8. Try fast for 13 hours first week 14 the next week and so on. I use the zero app. What I find is that once you focus on one thing, the pieces fall into place.

Why is going to sleep at 10pm a bad thing?

Working out helps. Planning meals ahead do as well for me - and would even more if I wasn't procrastinating as much as I am

For the junk food, get rid of them and replace them with carrot sticks. Or bananas, Make them as convenient as possible for you like placing them next to your work station. Switch your drinks with cold water. If you need the sugar, switch it with fruit juice.

For the bed time, set an alarm and discipline yourself to go to bed when it rings. Working out and spend all your energy and end the session around two hours before you sleep can help, but afaik this doesn’t work with everyone (some get even more energy out of this).

As for fapping, you’re on your own. Maybe look at pictures of your parents or a disappointed Jesus whenever you want to?

Good luck!

At the end of the day you just gotta want it. There is no magical shortcuts if you have a goal you just have to make it happen. If you can’t you just don’t really want it. It’s all mental and you just have to focus on whatever goal you set for yourself. You do whatever it takes even if you have to take a hit for it. Wanna lose weight stop eating bad shit. Wanna get stronger lift heavier things. Wanna stop smoking stop buying them. It’s basically on your resolve. Set a goal and follow through no matter what you gotta do to make it happen
