No books in particular, but I know a technique called simply "response prevention" in which you actively force yourself not to do the damaging behaviours, maybe by rewarding yourself a little when you don't do it.. It's definitely hard, as the brain will cry out for you to do the compulsions, but I think it can be worth it. Maybe try googling it?

It is about awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, that we have to keep reminding ourselves, over and over: "This is water, this is water."
