fallen into

Developed through habit

Fallen into describes entering a state or situation, often gradually or without deliberate intent.

You fall into a routine, fall into despair, or fall into bad habits.

The phrase suggests slipping or drifting rather than choosing—something happens to you more than you make it happen.
