TOPIC: Years Of Learned Behavior Takes Years Of Learned Changes.
Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that I am truely grateful.
Years of learned behavior takes
years of changed behavior.
Year after year of constant
drinking becomes learned behavior.
Right?
Well, from the first day I stopped
drinking, I had to learn how to
change that old behavior. To
learn how not to drink.
The same thing goes for many
that steal, lie, drug, unfaithfulness
and other old behaviors.
What behaviors have u learned
over the years that you need to
learn to change today? Which
may take years. Right?
Thanks for letting me share.

Old behaviors....hmmmmm....we all
have them....right? Old habits, behaviors.
Even as young as children.
What about picking in ur noses...lol yuk
or grabbing at privates.... lol yep we
all need to scratch.
Spit and chew or chew and spit....nasty....
Slap someone when u pass them....maybe
not in a mean way, but just a tap. So now
its a habit to do that each time u pass
someone. Is that you?
What about learning as a child that
it is ok to have a sip of mom or dads
drink now and then? It was cute then,
but now we're full blown alcoholics
all because it was normal habit to sip
drinks as a child.
What about offering a hit to someone
just to try....u like it and soon it becomes
a habit to meet with this person and take
hits or lines or whatever it is.
Or u know the burner is hot but u
have to touch it to make sure but
u forget each time and ur hand
gets burned. A lesson
or habit that is hard to stop.
Learned habits can be stopped. Just
like it was reputitious to do those same
things day after day which are unhealthy
and possibly harmful.....picking ur nose
is harmful..lol ok u get my drift....
so can learn new habits or behaviors.
All it takes is to take one step at a time.
Crawl before u walk....even have someone
carry u until u feel comfortable trying those
new habits on ur own.
New habits like using a tissue for ur nose and
do this privately to not gross someone out.
Or scratch in the ladies or mens rooms.
What use to be cute like ur parents giving
u sips of alcohol, think of it as giving ur
babies poison.
Stay away from those so call friends
that deal because as u move on to
healthier habits they will always be
right there where u left them.
So what habits or behaviors do u need
to change?
