What doesn't kill you won't make you stronger.
One of the craziest statements I hear is that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Well, I've equally used that phrase a number of times. However, my perspective has changed. Before I go into the rationale for my new conviction, I think people use the phrase to advise people to be resolute in the face of challenges. In other words, "they can grow from their broken state and become stronger." It's also like saying we learn from experience.
Let me return to my point before I forget it. My new conviction is that what doesn't kill you now may kill you later!
So yeah, this piece is about stopping bad habits or getting free from addiction. Gotcha right!
I believe very strongly that appetite is learned and that we get hooked on things over time. So addicts are basically consistent in the wrong things. I think if you stick to a negative routine, you could get hurt eventually. A case in point are those who are hooked on betting! This is not to condemn anyone who's devoted to betting or drinking! I also drink beer once in a while. emphasis on "once in a while."
At first, you might think it's something you can get rid of gradually or that it's a one-time occurrence. Lads! You are in for a surprise. I have this friend who started betting a while back and couldn't stop. For some reason, he started linking up with people who did the same thing. In a certain context, this means one person bonds over their addictions! Notably, you have to change your circle of influence in order to stop some habits. My friend was also in debt, and he was constantly worried.
"You cannot have a one-night stand with some habits without becoming pregnant!"
I equally think habits are tied to certain times of the day. For example, some people may drink more or masturbate more at night. For other people, the rush to perform a certain activity may come in the morning. To get rid of this, I believe replacing those activities with something more productive should suffice. It won't be easy, but a try won't be bad.
Kindly note that the foregoing is not necessarily hinged on science. They are just two cents from one addict to another!
