Temperament

Probably the most difficult thing to do when you have an addiction in your life is to have an even temperament.  You can only be happy when you are in the midst of it, and angry when you are not.  Or happy most of the time and angry after you've done it.  Or short tempered because we can't handle the stress of life and the addiction takes the sting off of things we can't control.

Short term thinking is the viscious cycle that keeps us trapped in immediate relief.  We don't give ourselves time to process the damaging behaviors of ourself and others, because we are trapped in "me" thinking.  Surrendering all of this to Christ's care and control is the one and only step we need to take to break out of it.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices put all the tools we need in front of us to stop the damaging things we do...but only if we want to!!
