What is Habit?
Habit formation is the process by which behaviour, through regular repetition, becomes automatic or habitual
1. A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behaviour that is acquired through frequent repetition.
2. An established disposition of the mind or character.
A disposition is a habit, a preparation, a state of readiness, or a tendency to act in a specified way.
Easy solution: I can form a new habit to replace the old habit
What is addiction ?
Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something, to the point where it could be harmful to you. An addiction is an unhealthy relationship with drugs, or alcohol, in which you use more than you would like to use, and you continue to use despite negative consequences.
Awarenness: I am no more arrogant, I learn to be humble and admit I am powerless over my addiction. When I try to control my addiction, I am actually losing self control.
I don’t try to suppress my addiction anymore, I find that they actually snowball over the days and the feeling became more intense and unbearable, it is so easy to fail.
I have a new found respect for the power of addiction,
as long as I don’t start, it cannot grab hold of me .
I found a power in God greater than the devil in addiction.
Daily I focus in God, I pray to God.
the meetings I attended in the week keep my thoughts in check and focus in God and my recovery.
I learn now; the number of clean days accumulated does not matter at all in the future, it does not make you any stronger than your addiction, everything can be lost overnight when you are not vigilant.
I only need to focus on staying clean today,
the secret is ODAAT.
my hope is not on striking lottery or the big winning anymore. now my hope is in God, first I came to believe in step one, now I trust God, I will be given sufficient, I will have abundant.
Amen
