It's life or death, you are fighting for YOUR LIFE!!
when you start to change, there will be a lull
fill the empty spaces of bad habits with good ones
you will have no difficulty falling into new habits
“you can be addicted to good things. I’m addicted to the gym, I go to the gym a couple hours every day and if that was taken away from me it’d have a really bad effect on my life… I’m totally addicted to that, I’m addicted to going on adventures, I’m addicted to being outside, I’m addicted to all of these things. Addiction is just a thing that’s a part of your life.”
“anything can be addictive”
recovering from a “bad addiction” is much harder than the other way round
“there's no addiction that's either more nor less”
appealing to a self superiority has potential value as a way to distance yourself from addictions, especially in social situations
don't hate yourself for backsteps
“the voice of addiction is gonna be loud too and it’s gonna talk to you in ways that you don't expect and you're gonna have to be prepared for it coming.”
associations can create bridges between healthy activities and unhealthy addictions, such as socialization.
It's very easy to backstep with even little habits. “If I can do an edible then maybe I could smoke a cig/joint.”
“The voice of addiction will be very subtle and will disguise itself as innocent things. ”
