Breaking Off Addiction : Easy And Simple Ways by Clarakings(f): 5:09pm On Jun 24, 2015
Addiction is a termite that has eaten deep into our society such that seven out of every ten individual is battling with one addiction or the other especially among the very youth. People in time past has been found to be unable to break off this worm which ultimately led to their death or serious health challenges. This is so terrible in that the individual involved finds it almost impossible to let go even when it is evident that it is not good for them. And the ones that are so courageous to make a move still finds themselves in the same deep 'shit' the next day. Some end up throwing caution to the wind. All though it is quite tasking to do away with these addictions but you can follow this simple steps:
1. RESOLVE TO LET GO
No matter how difficult it is, determine to let go because a determined mind the say, has already achieved half success. So you must make a resolve within you that come what may, you aren't going back to where you came from.
2. AVOID THE LEADS
What ever it is that spurs the desire to go back, make a clear standing. Whether it be friends, an event, people, peer pressure, social media, you have to steer clear from it. After all the bible admonishes us to flee from temptation.
3. TELL YOURSELF "ITS NOT GOOD FOR YOU"
You have to constantly remind yourself that it is not good for you. Infact always bear in your consciousness the consequences or aftermath of such actions. In that way you keep subduing the desires.
4. GET BUSY
Have you not heard that an idle mind is the devil's workshop? So get yourself busy to prevent negative ideas from registering in your sub-consciousness. A busy mind rarely have time to dwell on idle ideas.
5. SEEK THE HELP OF GOD
"Without me you can do nothing" so says God's word. "For by strength shall no man prevail". Ask God for Grace and strength to help you stand by your decision. Develop a positive attitude and build a strong relationship with your creator because it is only from him that our help shall come from. Goodluck!
