It’s true that the ultimate way to overcome a bad habit or addiction is to undergo an internal transformation, what they call in addiction recovery a “psychic change,” where one comes to recognize and tackle the practical, moral or spiritual destruction caused by the habit that needs kicking. But there is a step that must come first: the elimination of all habit-triggers and facilitators. The associations that are created by certain sights, sounds and smells should be avoided at all costs. For, as the Talmud puts it, “It is not the mouse who steals, but the hole (it climbs through)!” Getting rid of the holes is one way to get rid of the mice.
