How can I advise you, when you do not provide sufficient information? It is not possible. If it concerns masturbation, and your the shame you feel as a result of being brought up in a repressive culture, let me assure you, it is NOT a bad habit, all species of primate do it, both males and females, and many monkey species.  Male humans more than female humans in a ratio of around 3:1 (married as well as single). It is difficult to get exact figures.

Answer 3

One thing I've found that works well to tame the compulsion, is to wear one of those thick rubber-bands around your wrist. Whenever you feel the urge coming on, stretch the rubber-band and then let it snap back against your wrist. Hard. Over time, the urges will fade, or even disappear.

It also works for over-eating, obsessing about a lover or an Ex, procrastinating, any sort of habitoid brain malfunction.
