This is helping me to made new decisions…
In the past:
How many times did I choose to do the right thing because it made me feel good.
How many times did I choose to do the wrong thing because it made me feel good.
Today;
In recovery, I learnt to do thing because it was the right thing to do, not because it made me feel good. For example, work, exercise, providing for the family.
I will experience stress and unhappiness at work doing some things that do not make me feel good.
I will experience stress and pain doing the same exercise I used to do
I will have lesser money to spend when I provide for my family.
But these are the right thing to do.
In recovery, I choose not to do things that make me feel good because it was the wrong thing to do. For example: take alcohol, gambling, drug, overeat.
I will stop overeating and taking alcohol and drug that make me feel good.
I will stop gambling that give me a quick fix and escape from reality.
