On the other hand, you are way too strict on yourself.

That would always get me too carried away and distracted. Don't think about anything - when you feel little things creeping into your mind and making noise, like a song tune or a phrase or some other thing, force them out. Be sure to give it time, it might take a bit to get accustomed to it.

focus on the feeling of your breath, nothing else. It will be extremely difficult at first, just keep bringing your attention back to it over and over. If you want actual guided shit a good book to start with is mantak chia taoist secrets of love. youtube.com/watch?v=aAVPDYhW_nw&t=1s

A lot of these are memes..... Only scientifically proven benefit to nofap is practicing mental discipline. Mental discipline could be focused on far more important things.
That said cutting out porn makes real sex seem more satisfying.
Cutting out vidya is only important if you play more than is reasonable. There are some advantages to playing vidya, and mental recovery is important in life.
Social media makes people who are already unhappy more unhappy. But it makes people who are happy, and popular (read have high network centrality) happier.
Smartphone literally connects you to the entire world of information. Instead of wasting energy on bunk nofap, maybe use your mental discipline on not playing stupid mobile games and browsing useless plebbits?
Why would I fast if I'm on a bulk? Reducing materialism is good though. So is exercise.
Nothing wrong with drugs if you have a vibrant social scene and don't use constantly.
This is mostly meme advice. Silly user, take a psychology, biology or any course. Read a book, any book, and go to college for a real degree in science, or even soft science.

Continuing on, Better advice would be
Pick up and start reading a nonfiction book, alongside a fiction book. Both have advantages. Start on a MOOC. Invest money, make sure to socialize with a friend group at least three times a week. Start a creative project (writing, artwork, woodworking etc). Improve your diet. Select and train for a fitness goal. Invest more time in your SO, or if you are sad and alone go one 1 date a week, or ask out 1 girl a week.
Do one thing for another person a day, this improves social connectedness and makes you happy.
Even if you have a degree set up a backup skill, coding, personal training, knowledge of electricity, something.

Your mind is not your own if you are hooked on the Roasted Jew.
Srsly, it's a big deal. If you drink multiple coffees throughout the morning, you're "on" caffeine pretty much every waking minute. Usually not the case with other drugs (weed, booze, etc.). Produces a whole different personality
Just go live with the Buddhist monks or wear a while blanket and crawl to grave already mate

>What's your excuse?
I have better things to do with my limited time than act special because I do completely arbitrary shit with no practical purpose. I mean, really >Increase your spirituality
What the fuck does that even mean, and how does it actually benefit me? It's all superstitious hogshit, specifically designed to separate marks (read: you) from their money by making them think they're a part of something greater, when it's really nothing more than masturbation.
Everything you said except exercise and MAYBE "no drug" is a bunch of trendy, neo-straight-edge bullshit puppets say to themselves to give meaning to their lives because they can't actually be good at or for anything.
