disaccustom

Wean from routine

To disaccustom is to break a habit or wean someone from a familiar practice: She worked to disaccustom herself from checking her phone first thing in the morning.

The word is formal and relatively rare, typically appearing in contexts of deliberate behavioral change.

You disaccustom yourself to something you've grown used to.
