Priority of Meditation I'm wondering whether one would have much success quitting addictive behaviours BEFORE having a meditative practice. Is this just wasteful/pointless? Would meditation allow a much easier relinquishing of bad habits?

In sum, should meditation come first?

Thank you.
Bad physical habits are stopped by adhi-sīla, physical observe.

Then, bad mental habits are stopped by adhi-samādhi, concentration-meditation.

Then, whole, future, bad habit's root-causes, avijjā-root &amp; taṇhā-root &amp; dosa-root, are vanished by adhi-paññā, insight-meditation.
