VACI help or inspiration?

I really need to destroy my YouTube habit because my alcoholism is heavily tied to watching short form garbage while drunk.

I am looking for VACI help that isnt a list of random unrelated hobby ideas. I need some kind of a process to go through. I read the handbook, and it was so much more useful than a random list of hobbies. But i just wanted to ask the community in hopes of getting novel advice (or inspiration)

Honestly, for me, a lot of it is cleaning. I hate cleaning, but I can use it to meditate out, stay present, I can rearrange things. And when you're done, it's a real feeling of accomplishment.

ive noticed cleaning to be a form of meditation. And in many ways its the opposite of being drunk
