Quiting an addition is simple, want to quit and quit.
People that can’t quit don’t want to!!!!
There’s no half way.
You often strike me as very cantankerous and not a terribly deep poster.
However, this is the single most profound and true thing about addiction I have ever read on this forum.
Well done.

Quitting an addiction is not simple. There are often a number of mental issues to deal with. But you are right that you have to want to quit and be willing to do the hard work necessary to overcome the addiction.
And of course, commitment to God is a big plus.
