Conscience

Interesting word!  When we don't follow it, we learn the "science" behind it and "con" ourself into thinking what we are doing is acceptable and truthful.  It's very easy to con our own thinking, because there is usually a pleasure behind the motive.  Do it once and your options expand.

So we do things that are morally deplorable, justify our actions, tell others that it is someone elses fault, and paint a pretty good picture of ourselves.  But to someone who knows; our picture looks like the painting of a child, full of gramatical impracticalities, glaring holes in our story, and they can see the dirt on us that we can't see.  Plus the most startling thing is that "cons" eventually crack because the story morphs into something uncontrollable.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that we may not be in charge of anything at all: but we sure think we are fooling everyone, including God!!

Impatient

Controls our actions, words, and thoughts.  When things don't go our way, we spew harsh verbage on innocent bystanders, act out in misdemeanor ways, and our facial expressions reveal the condition of whats in our heart.  But why? 

Holding onto hatred, singed feelings, & toxic relationships is only a seed & we will produce a crop of much worse than we experienced. . . if we let it!  Maybe, we didn't have a good role model growing up?  Complaining about others and situations was the norm for us? 

Everyone has the ability to change behaviour like that as long as we recognize that it exists and see something better that we can work towards.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us the result of our negative actions and help us realize what we are truly like.

Relapse

Would you call yourself absolutely evil or the flip side of absolutely Godly?  From a worldly perspective; hitler or Mother Theresa?  Both of those being extremes, we find ourself somewhere in the middle.  Do you find yourself swinging back and forth on certain days or in the midst of some sort of turmoil?  A relapse or giving into bad thoughts?

We are told in the Bible in Ephesians 6 about wearing the armour of God.  If you are serious about wanting to leave your past behind you, then wearing the armour of God is essential to success.  That means it is time to commit.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us what we have to do to commit and be absolutely sure.

Change

An easy way to fail is to try to change everything at once.  When we are riddled with problems, emotions, and failure and we know something just has to be different in our life, we tend to think its all or nothing when we think of change.  ie; from a crackhead to a Nun in one day.  Lets be realistic!!  It took a long time to get where you are.

A better lifestyle comes when we change one small thing at a time.  Make it simple like promising to do one good thing for the next 21 days.  Like put the dishes in the dishwasher after every meal, or don't drink or do drugs before noon. Promise yourself to not purge one meal a week, or be calm when you are wronged.  After 21 days it will become a habit, then work on another small thing.  Change comes when we see the small successes.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to peel away the onion layers of our confusing life, one layer at a time.  It's all done by simply committing to do it, one small habit at a time!!

Concealment

Life is broken down into elements of time.  Time for interaction with others, for our personal desires, and for thought processes.  When we do something wrong, then our thought processes become over ridden with guilt or ways to conceal our wrong doing.  This can lead to us trying to find ways of dampening those thoughts in some way.  This is the ground work laid for an addictive behavior.

Excessive use of substances, bad habits, or negative thinking is just a blister on our already over worked mind.  The best way to deal with this kind of wrong thinking is to expose the original sin, the very thing we are trying to cover up.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that none of the junk we conceal is original in any way and that others sharing the same wrong doing is quite healing for us.

Perception

Simply said; it's how we interpret the things we see based on the things we have learned.  Doesn't make it right or wrong, because the things we have learned may have been flawed in some way to begin with. 

Have you ever tried to do someone elses job of which you have no training and know nothing about?  We can assume it is done right but most likely it is wrong.  We missed  the one thing to give it longevity and to last.

Life is like that!  We go about collecting beliefs and traits through absorbsion, thinking all along that it is right and good.  The Bible tells us not to do that because when a time of testing comes then our piece-meal world falls away and burns up. Then we get angry at God??

Romans 8:7 says;  The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. NIV

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to see those flaws through our own realization.

Believe in Yourself

When we have a poor outlook of our self, we are open to addictive behaviours.  Thinking you are less than suitable, always short of any line drawn in the sand, or incapable of doing things well or at all.  At a time when your own personal success is but a distant dream and your happiness is attached to that. This is a low point that we take as the basis of the rest of our life, but that is just a lie that we tend to believe.  Things can always be brighter if we just keep trying and refuse to give up...

Turning to God with your whole heart, all your sole, and all your mind, is the way to prevent adopting destructive habits and wallowing in self-pity.  The Bible says that giving yourself to the care of Jesus Christ and seeking all things in Him, then you will be raised up.  Joy in the Lord is our strength.

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that there are much better ways to deal with our problems other than covering it up with another problem.
