Drinking/drugs has a purpose. Satan’s purpose with habits is to destroy your spiritual destiny. Satan uses Drinking/drugs to make you content with life as is. This habit is a literal fight for your purpose. When tempted, you need to see satan’s plan in that temptation. Consider praying:
“Father, help me to flee from triggers, and help me to pursue righteousness, and love.”
Today, when you start to see temptation… Start praying immediately, and imagine seeing next to your temptation – satan standing there planning your downfall just like he did with Adam and Eve. Consider praying:
“Father, help me to turn from triggers and keep reminding me about who is trying to destroy me.”
1 Peter 5:8 ESV Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
Finally, we need a great weapon against satan. The Bible is the sword. A great weapon. The more you get it in you, the better you will fight.
