If you have created a solid Purpose with a broad enough base, you can then use it to brace your lever. One end of the lever must be jammed under/into the mass that you are trying to move. The lever then lies across the fulcrum; its upper end will be where force is applied to shift the mass.
Remember, the mass you are trying to move out of your way is basically invisible, only existing inside you alone, as a psychological barrier composed of intertwined thoughts, feelings, impulses, and habits relating to your addiction.
The lever you use to move it will be made also of invisible ‘stuff’, and perfect for the task for that reason. This lever is formed from Practice.
What is a Practice?
Anything that will take time to master, an activity or skill that one must work at regularly, with focus, in order to improve or maintain proficiency. It could come from one of these:
Musical instrument
Writing
Gardening
Dance
Cooking
Drawing and Painting
Photography
Martial Arts
A Field of Study
The best idea would be to pick something that has always interested you in some sense, find a teacher, and begin. The teacher can be a book, online, at a school or university, or a club. It does not matter, how you are taught, or where. What matters is why.
The Practice must include the intention to improve, to get better at your chosen activity.
It will be the interplay between of your intention to improve in your Practice with the psychological mass of your addiction that will allow your Practice to work as a lever.
