Addiction and Sobriety

I’ve never understood why it is so hard for people to just quit drinking alcohol and to stop using anything, period.

When I started drinking in my twenties, I could drink like a fish and get hammered but kept drinking. In my 30s I slowed down greatly, and mid 40s quit period cold turkey.

I think moderation and goals are key.

Same with weed. I was forced to stop nicotine and cigarettes and weed when I came toy sister’s family’s house in California.

Attitude can almost get you kicked away from family and friends, and once again it’s key - moderation and balance.

You do you, and good luck. If I recall any spirits that can help, I will mention them.

I’m not intending to make people feel bad over what I wrote. I know that there are signs and symptoms of addiction. There is, oddly enough, a Christian church called CR - Celebrate Recovery.

If you can go with it, I’ve seen people in mass, that turn away from their addiction and become whole.

I went to CR for addiction but failed my inventory - to see the patterns for addiction to this or that. Overspending or buying on a whim, pot use and abuse, alcohol (though in moderation), porn and sex with strippers. Etc. I was a mess. I got turned toward God. But I failed due to pride and envy.

So take what I’ve said, and find your patterns to tackle the root cause of your addictions, and seek help from God.

Often the result of trauma is an addictive mindset. Addiction is a consequence, not a cause. The association between type of trauma, level of exposure and addiction - ScienceDirect

Using magical methods where you should be taking care of yourself usually doesn’t work, but rather causes a state of self-deception.

Saturn. He will traumatize you but you will become sober and not even desire what you once craved before.
