This article is just flat out the dumbest thing I've ever read in regards to addiction

I’m genuinely curious, because of the other discussions happening here. Why is the article bad/wrong?

It’s conflating bad habits and addiction. The advice may work for bad habits such as watching too much YouTube when you’d rather be more productive. An addiction twists the mind around where no amount of reason is going to stick without external systems in place to help. Anyone who’s had any serious struggles either internally or with a loved one is going to recognize this.
