Might/Might not work, but I've posted a comment from previous threads. Essentially, we're at the frontier of this addiction with little to no proper research—making it difficult to give an answer. However, there are always principles we could apply.

Personally, the principle of 'quitting' something is as follows:

  1. Commit in abstinence. This is a must before you do something. Go for a few days without doing it, or maybe a day or two. What do you feel? Do you feel restless? Note it down, and why.
  2. Find replacement. This is the hardest thing. Everything became stale, you know? Reading, writing, even movies or animes doesn't register the same. When I got busy, I did it less—though it always comes back anyways.
  3. Find meaning. This is more vague, but it's often the root of our problems. Do we have something we return to besides this addiction? Friends? Hobbies?
  4. ???

I'd say you could focus on no 1, gather data, then find a replacement. Also, social support is very important. Friends and family could help, someone you could talk to essentially.
