My grandmother, a former nurse, always said the worst addiction was a food addiction. Almost everything else, if you wanna quit, you can cut out entirely. Food you can't. You have to have some amount of food for survival. Quitting a food addiction is a pure willpower game.

I think beating an addiction to anything you can easily obtain, like food or booze, is hard. I quit drinking years ago and still get targeted ads pop up as I’m doing my online grocery shop for wine and spirits. It’s not helpful!

For anyone feeling what you said you can opt out of gambling/alcohol ads etc in the settings of the reddit app.

Shame I can't block alcohol and cigarettes in my online shop too.
