You replace the thing you want to quit with a better thing.

Try tea and seltzers, not because they’re healthy but because they’re interesting. There’s an infinite range of teas.

And learning to cook changed my life. I get annoyed with almost all delivery now because I can do better.

I started drinking herbal teas some years ago, I heavily enjoy hibiscus and ginger because of their strong taste, to a lesser degree also cinnamon, licorice and peppermint, but most teas seem very bland.

You need to educate/brainwash yourself with operant conditioning that junk food makes you sick and good food makes you feel good.

The problem with depression in particular, though, is that self-harm--seeking behaviors is also a symptom, so that brainwashing can backfire.

You stop buying them during your weekly grocery shopping.

It sounds like you're saying that low will power leads to depression.
