It’s not exactly clear what you mean, but there are ways to overcome addictions that work for some people, and you can probably find different methods that work for you.  Here are a few examples of potential therapies:

Going to support groups or talking about it with friends.  Support groups are usually a type of group therapy.  Sometimes doing this will help you connect with people who have had the same problem.

Dealing with the underlying issues that led to the addiction, such as trauma or depression.  Many people respond well to therapy to treat these underlying issues, or to counseling that is not specifically about the addiction.

Detoxing, which involves gradually stopping the habit of using the substance, and if there are withdrawal symptoms, treating them.  Sometimes this is done in a hospital, and sometimes with the help of a medical detox clinic.  It is very important to avoid starting up the habit again as soon as the withdrawal

Good question! The first thing to know is that some addictions can be deadly, so getting treatment for them is the most urgent priority.  But what else might you do to overcome an addiction? Well, sometimes an addiction can be difficult to overcome, but we can always learn to deal with the negative consequences of addiction.  This might include avoiding triggers, for example.  Or, we might recognize the need for support from others.  Perhaps you can explain more about the particular addiction you’re struggling with, to help me understand more specifically what we could be talking about.
