Getting rid of habits and addictions can be very hard. And there's no one approach for all habits. The best way to think about it is to untangle a bad habit, so it's not breaking at that habit. It's not a sudden break. You untangle it. For many of these habits, like smoking and drinking and unhealthy snacks and social media use, it is a clump of using social media through your day. I outline a step by step process in tiny habits of how to untangle that. That's maybe the shortest, most helpful, short thing I can share about it: Think of it as you untangle the habit.
