My .02$: All you need to do to change your substance use is
believe it’ll genuinely be worth changing. You need to believe that a change offers you the chance of greater happiness, and you will then persist on this new path if you believe it’s a viable possibility. Building this new preference starts the same way you built the old preference. You learned that getting drunk made you feel better for the moment, you escaped the helplessness trap with quick fixes and mood changers of chemicals. Now unlearn this by being curious and aware of your feelings, face them, don’t become them. You are made in the image and likeness of God. Learn to connect with something greater than
excitement: Regain control with the
joy of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Where attention goes, neuro-firing flows and neuroconnection grows!
