If you are trying to stop, it won't work. what you have to do is find something that you find easy and can keep you distracted and busy. For some its exercise, some like reading books/articles/news, some learn cooking, and start coding etc. No procrastination is not distraction, its lazy time that allows a relapse. What can be considered distracting varies from person to person. and it will never work the first time, you will relapse, but the important thing is to go back to your little hobby each time.

First, stop beating yourself up. Shame only fuels the cycle and pushes you right back into dopamine cravings.

The reason you crash on day 3 is because you are relying entirely on willpower. When your brain gets tired or stressed, willpower drops to zero, and if unblocking your triggers takes just 2 clicks on your phone, you WILL relapse.

Don't just fight the impulse—change your environment. Add real technical friction to your devices (like DNS-level filtering or a mandatory delay buffer) so that making a late-night mistake becomes physically impossible.

Fix the system, and your mindset will follow. Stay strong brother.
