Psychology Major, at a minimum replace the addictive substance etc. With another positive activity that gives you a natural high and endorphins: ie. Exercise, spending time with friends, etc.

Break off all of your friendships or relationships with people who also engage in the addictive behavior or substance. No matter what your will power and resolve is like, social influence is extremely powerful. Do this ASAP

If you can't gradually reduce it while replacing it along the way, go cold turkey.

In general, just stop. Find something healthy and productive to replace the urge. Throw out and avoid running into anything related to the addiction.

For hardcore shit that will likely kill you if you just stop, you should consult a professional.
