There's also Allen Carr's books about treating addiction, and they don't use negative reinforcement, at least the ones I've read

Rather it helps you learn to recognize the fallacies behind the addictive cravings themselves, and to thus resolve the core of why you turn to that in the first place

His first book was Easy Way to Stop Smoking

For digital addiction there's Smart Phone, Dumb Phone

For internet porn there's easypeasymethod.org (based on EasyWay to Stop Smoking)



I know two people that quit with that book, both more than 20 years ago. One restarted few years ago, the other one never smoked again.
