New forms of addictions and replacements i notice creeping in..
Today god stopped me from getting a face tattoo. Well really, I got one in LA and wanted it to be a piece.. I wanted a bigger one to come out of it but the initial one I got was too small! At the point of traveling to get it, I see that man it just moves on. Instead of getting wasted everyday I just want to do other things. Like tattoos. I'm getting into the routine of taking care of myself but see I need or crave habits that "change myself"! I just am focusing on more positive ones and less really wild type choices. I still love tattoos but probably wont get any more on my face or even in general.. Rather be the image of whatever I am getting in PHYSICAL form instead of getting it in ink and still not being the best at representing that or manifesting that.
It was gonna be my g/f's initials.
Also took mushrooms last weekend and now I really see I dont want drugs. It felt way too good and it made me want to decide to do them for the rest of my life. Self care is happiness!!

Good for you Charles and I hear you loud and clear. My addictive self can latch onto anything that feels good or exciting if it gets the chance. We must take hold of the wheel and steer this ship away from the icebergs! (Talking to myself here too 
)

You say you crave habits that change yourself, physically and likely orherwise. This is a key observation. Recovery for me is about self acceptance. All my addictions get down to distracting or masking my emotions and avoiding reality. Recovery is about raw perception.

I agree with you but it is sooo hard to keep from doing things that feel good. I have been compulsively addicted to so many things and I think in the beginning that I'm doing it to feel control, but in the end it controls me....
