How can I finally quit bad habits and regain control of my life?

What are the practical steps to finally quit bad habits and take back control of your everyday life after repeatedly trying to stop but finding yourself falling back into the same patterns? How can someone build stronger self-discipline, overcome triggers, develop healthier routines, stay motivated through setbacks, and achieve long-term freedom from habits that are negatively affecting their life?

Make a list of things that trigger the bad behavior, then avoid them. Avoid people and places where those things pop up. Plan out your day with as many activities as you can to keep your mind and body busy with other things. Find people who like the same healthy activities you do that you can spend time with and let trusted friends know what bad things you need to avoid. Real friends will help you avoid them too.

Really depends on the habit and the severity.
