I think pouring the alcohol down the drain does more than just waste time and money: it increases the cost of pouring another drink and creates an opportunity for self-reflection for the addict when popping open another bottle. This can make the difference between pouring one more drink and abstaining for another day.

For the only moderately addicted social media user, the cost of recreating your accounts might actually be greater than abstaining.

And all it would take is a small burst of motivation caused by finding a website that 1. causes self-reflection towards one's use of social media and 2. reduces the cost of deleting your accounts.

Point being, pouring the alcohol down the drain increases the cost of further addiction and increases the likelihood of prolonged abstinence.

Or throws you in a new endless cycle of deleting and recreating accounts with each new account representing a new leaf / new you. I've seen people in this birth/death cycle.
