Quitting Addiction: Letting Go of Permanence
When attempting to quit an addiction, focusing on permanent solutions can be counterproductive. The desperation to fix the addiction permanently actually fuels the addiction and sets us up for failure. Instead, we should shift our focus to the present moment and take it one day at a time, resisting the addiction in the here and now. By letting go of the idea of permanence and avoiding thoughts of past regret or future fears, we can start to break free from the addiction.
