| Making up your mind that you CAN walk away and not turn back,
when we become aware that something is becoming problematic for us, that our life is getting screwed up because of it, we must know how to move on, walk away.
Some things can cause physical effects when we go cold turkey, but if we know in advance what to expect, and will just say "I will deal with that temporary feeling" if it comes up, and keep walking.
The mind can play games with us, excuses seem to surface, but mostly because we have not really taken comand of our life, we must know that we do have the total power to walk away once we reach that crossroad.
Trying to stuggle with an addiction is like trying to swim out of quicksand, the struggle will only make you sink faster. You must reach for the power hold that you can use to pull your self out. Don't struggle, just walk away and know you cannot turn back.
I noted one of the reasons people have addiction in my other post above, we also have those who are into feeling guilty and then punishing their self by drugs, eating, or whatever. Give up the guilt, if those in the past really were your friends then they would forgive you anyway, if they are not your friends then why bother about their opinions, they are not really important but you are, so just start walkin and liberate your self from the past.
Now onwards is all that really matters. Nowness is the only place you can be, and the only concern is what you do in this very moment, the past and the future are not happening here and now, so be here now and stay in the moment.
That is what came from out of the Blue, hope it helps, now... if I could only take my own adivce. Ever notice how it is so easy to help others and hard to help your self by the same advice?
