Struggling to give up music, any advice?

Assalamu alaykum, I'm really trying to let go of music for good. I cleared out all my old playlists and now I only keep Quran recitations and nasheeds. But I slip up sometimes, especially when I'm driving or at the gym, and it makes me feel awful. It's like I just can't fully break the habit. Also, I'm glued to my phone and spend way too much time scrolling. If anyone has tips or personal experiences on how they moved away from these distractions, please share-it would mean so much. Jazakum Allah khair.

Replace your phone scrolling with listening to the Quran instead. When you feel the urge, just open the app. Small steps, but it builds. Don't beat yourself up too much, regret is a sign of iman.

Ditch the gym playlist entirely, just go without headphones sometimes. The silence actually helps you focus on the workout. For the car, put a short surah you're trying to memorize on repeat. Best of both worlds.

Bro I was in the same boat. What helped me was replacing music with podcasts about Islamic history. Keeps the mind busy without the tunes, and you learn something. Might work for the gym.

Bro, I literally threw my headphones away. Felt extreme, but it broke the cycle. Miss them at the gym, but my mind is way more at peace now.

The struggle itself is a form of jihad. Keep asking Allah for strength. I found deleting social media apps from my phone and using the browser version only cut my screen time in half instantly.
