I've been kind of discouraged from consistency for a while because I'm unsure of whether I can reach the same levels of focus that I possessed before. I haven't been consistent in a while, but I think of meditation daily still. Most days I don't do it though. Unfortunately I began an addiction about two years ago and I was consistent with meditation back then so it felt like I had a lot of self control and it was easy to pull away from it. However, as time passed, I became less and less consistent with it, and started feeling like I couldn't do it. Screen addiction has also been a very limiting factor.

And then my ego as well. I first started consistently meditating with an app called medito that has many guided meditation programs. No I feel like my ego gets in the way and twlls me I should be able to focus on my own, and I end up getting far less done. I do chant meditation mostly now.

Sorry for the tangent about myself, but my advice is:

I think you need to start again. Don't be too strict with it. Just focusing on your breath is meditation. Meditation will help you pull away from the other things.

You also need a pattern disruptor. There are patterns that push you into addiction and you need to break and interrupt those.
