I quit drinking during a deep dive into breathwork. It helped release all the tension that builds when feeling all your feelings for the first time. It also helped to read other sober success stories (by way of books, not articles) and have a support group around it all. I think when we can name our addictions as such and not judge ourselves for them, it helps to become detached. Cold turkey has been the only thing to get me through quitting any vice, and discipline around not lashing out at others as my emotions surface. Seek help. You'll feel amazing after you give it a good amount of time.
