I went to work for a MS only company and had a work issued laptop.

Helped a lot with my addiction - at least for a while.

I have relapsed though and have a rack with 3 2 unit servers running that OS that I shall not mention and countless VM/Containers and docker images - I also have several VPS in data centers and run a small Lemmy instance, Blog, online shop…

Um, I think I need help again.

Cold turkey. You make the time to quit “now” and not a later that never comes. It worked for cigarettes and fast food. From that point you live with yourself.

Warning though for my advice. I care little for my own happiness, quiting those were not a pleasant experience. I did not strengthen my resolve to overcome weaknesses, in bouts of depression I discarded things that made me happy for my health.

Replace it with another not as self harming addiction.
