One of his [Satan] roles is to ensure that there is no peace
unto the wicked.
God ensures that there is no peace for the wicked (Is
57:21).
“You can have rebellion or peace. You cannot have
both.” ~ Charles Stanley
Controlling habits are a means of ensuring that the wicked have
no peace. Controlling habits are soul destroying by utilizing
the dignity of the spirit for binding habits.
Do you mean strongholds? If you sin, you give Satan
authority in your life. He has every right to be there.
...I would say the addiction or feeling of need of said habits
is the underlying issue...
An idol, yes. Nothing should control us but the Spirit
(Eph
5:18).

...The Almighty has decreed there shall be peace unto the
wicked...
Just the opposite--there is no peace for the wicked (Is
57:21). No earthly thing will satisfy man's heart. If God allowed an idol to
satisfy, then men would have no need for him. They would not seek him (Re
3:20). Through reprobates claim to have peace,
they do not (Is.
57:20).
