Quitting takes several steps. Not falling is step one. Going to war with temptation and bad thoughts is step #2. Getting rid of bad thoughts is step #3. Consider praying:

“Father, help me to have a reply for every bad thought every time.”
Third, consider making a Bible verse into a prayer:

Psalm 101:3 ESV I will not set before my eyes on anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.” Consider praying:

“Father, I will not set my eyes or thoughts on triggers. I hate worthless activities, they shall not cling to me.”

Consider making it a habit to pray these prayers several times daily.

We need to think new thoughts. These prayers prompt new thoughts.
