Every addiction is an avoidance of creation and service. It is a way to consume your own energy. Every addictive pattern I’ve had, there is simply a moment where I decide I am done. It feels boring. It’s like I can see how overdone it is and is such a waste of my energy. It’s a compelling waste because it’s convenient and doesn’t require much of me, which is why we gotta run it out for a while. But then there’s a moment where you’re just sick of it and you’re sick of yourself doing that little game again. Here’s your invitation to just decide you’re done.

I would call that not actually choosing to be done. There’s a difference between all parts of you on board, deciding and one part judging your behaviour while the other part carries on. What I’m speaking to is the fully embodied choice where the adult in you says we’re done. The inner children or hungry parts may squirm and protest, but there’s a greater knowing that they don’t run the show anymore.

I don’t think you need to convince yourself, but rather hold a lot of awareness and compassion as you run the pattern out until you genuinely see that you don’t actually want the thing. Then you decide. You don’t need force to willpower your way out of it.

You’re welcome. I had been a distance runner for WOW 🤩 19 years at that time. It affected my career so it was harsh. Truly am grateful 🥹 now. Shared because me hopes another will understand. Being “disabled” is a hard term to describe. Which is one reason I chose “Well Able” as a tattoo. It’s also a reference to a verse from the #Bible. “But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.”” ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭13‬:‭30‬ ‭ESV‬‬ HUGS 🫂 image
