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.

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