The real issue is finding what to replace it with because what anyone else does may not work for you either.

A lot of us have habits. And they are unable to break them. Do you know why they are unable to break them?

Habits are hard to break because they’re deeply wired into our brains through repetition. They provide comfort, save energy, and often operate unconsciously. Breaking them requires effort, awareness, and consistent replacement with new routines.

Are you saying they would struggle to break the habits? They could try to give effort, try to have awareness, and consistently replace the habits with new routines. I just don't think they can. Nobody gave them support. Nobody showed them how to break them.

They don't have something that seems equally worthwhile to replace the old habits with, that's the hardest part. Anything before finding that is just telling someone "hey, you have an issue to solve" and doesn't help anything.

Every time you have an urge to do the old one, replace it with a new one. The new one should be positive, constructive and mainly bring you enjoyment. Otherwise, your motivation won't last long. For example, if you want to stop smoking, don't do 10 push-ups instead if you hate physical exercise. Do something you enjoy. Maybe smoking is not a good example because there's a difference between a habit and an addiction, but you get my point. And, of course, it takes time and effort
but it is possible. Check the book Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg.
