Tips On Transforming Addiction
Whether you are addicted to alcohol, smoking, drugs, porn, sugar, or video games, here are four simple ideas you can use to breakthrough and transform it right now:
1. Forgive Yourself
No matter what, you must learn to love and forgive yourself.
The last thing you want to do is be judgemental or hard on yourself.
You must let go of your past and not bring it with you into the present or future.
Yes, you must be accountable.
Yes, you must learn from it.
But once you do those two things, let it go so that you can move forward in your life.
2. Discover Your Why
The next step in this process is to discover your “Why?”
Why did you first start the habit?
Why do you want to end it.
It is important to understand that no matter what your situation is, you will always choose the thing that you define as being more “pleasurable” and move away from what you define as being more “painful”.
So whatever your addiction may be, you have chosen to continue doing it because you define that as being more pleasurable than not doing it.
Most addictions stem from either:
A. Trying to suppress or escape painful emotions
B. Boredom (need for dopamine for pleasure)
Once you understand the “Why?”, then it is time to be honest with yourself, face it, and define that as being more painful.
If you are reading this right now it is because you are at a crossroads.
Your addiction has probably got the point where continuing to do it is starting to bring you more pain than pleasure.
That’s a good thing.
The key here is to now find something to replace it with something that is more pleasurable as you continue to define doing it as being very painful.
3. Understanding Habits
All addictions are just negative habits.
However, what many people do not realize is that a habit is something you do that you do not know you are doing.
Meaning, you are making the choice habitually on autopilot.
Once you know you are doing it, it is no longer a habit.
It’s a choice.
You must be 100% responsible for your choices and actions because you cannot change what you do not own.
This is very important so it will be repeated:
You cannot change what you do not own.
This is all about personal responsibility and owning your choices.
4. Follow Your Excitement
Many people who form negative habits that become addictions do so because they are bored with life.
To truly transform it, you must be in touch with what excites you about life.
People who have found and are living their passion rarely have addictions because life is filled with so much other pleasures from following their excitement.
Have you found your passion in life?
Are you doing what excites you most?
If not, read: What should I do with my life?
