Thankful for the community
I’m now a couple weeks in so I just wanted to first off say thanks to everyone who posts. It’s definitely helpful to have a community so that you don’t feel like you are the only one struggling and you see people who are winning the battle. One thing that I feel has helped the most was praying that God would change my heart and my desires. I think he truly does if you keep asking. It wasn’t immediate for me but I feel like the shift has begun. When you do have a negative thought, use that as a trigger for a quick prayer. I read something recently where it said worriers are actually the ones most likely to pray without ceasing if they can use that worry as a trigger for prayer. I think the same can be said for those struggling with an addiction. Hope that helps. Good luck with the journey!
Keep the faith brother. Honestly, you’re not alone. Just be sure to not lean on your own willpower. Give it to God.
