Learning to take care of the "reasons" this became an addiction in the 1st place.. this is the escape you chose and until the brain learns to "not go there" and find better ways to cope, it will be difficult. Norman Doidge has a really good discussion on this addiction.. he is in my signature area below. Congrats on working on it!

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
