We want a free life, sometimes we cannot feel free and miss freedom, we find all our motivation in our freedom area. Well, don’t those addictions that we don’t accept undermine our freedom at all?
Whatever comes to mind first when we say addiction, it is a fact that the scenario that comes to our minds does not contain good feelings. The “dependency” situation, which is enough to make us feel bad on its own, creates a strange situation of war and peace between us and whatever stands as a symbol of addiction before us.
This war and peace situation is actually an illusion. Because we cannot break away from what we are addicted to, we try to wage war on it, failing every time and still make peace with it.
This routine is getting into a vicious circle. With this vicious circle, it takes away the last bits of freedom and self-confidence that remain in our hands. The vicious circle, unaware of all this, is after itself again…
Today, some people have to experience the feeling of addiction because of the harmful drinks such as alcohol and even cola, while others have to experience the foods that have pervaded the four corners of our world, such as sugar. While each may seem worse than the other, each of these addictions is almost equally bad. Because each one is “addiction” and they will never give you back your freedom unless you try to get rid of them. Not to mention getting rid of it. It’s easy to say, but to apply, yes I admit it’s a bit difficult. But of course it is not impossible. Besides, if something is difficult to implement, it is so sweet to succeed and so valuable what it will add to us.
Although each addiction requires different struggle processes in order to be defeated, we can say that the perception and termination of an addiction are the same in basic logic.
Step 1: Accept
Just because you’re addicted to something doesn’t mean you’ll stay that way forever. To experience anything in life, so does a bad addiction experience. Having experienced this feeling of addiction and trying to get rid of it will even cause you to develop completely different positive feelings towards yourself on the day you succeed!
However, first of all, you must have successfully completed the “acceptance” stage. If you feel an uncontrollable tendency, an excessive fondness for something or a situation, you must admit that you are in a state of addiction. Now the way to get rid of that addiction is waiting for you right next to you. What are you waiting for?
Step 2: Hit the road, don’t look back
This is always the case; Whenever we start a diet, start a treatment, or take an action for which we will see the result in the future, we are constantly chasing calculations based on the past and the future, such as “how many days have passed, how many days are left”. However, in a process that we have started, we need to focus on the general concept of the process we are in, not on the distance we have covered or the remaining distance for the continuation and continuity of our motivation to reach the goal. There is no need to torture and constantly remind our willpower that we strive to show. The most important thing here is that we know the way we started and the points we will reach.
Step 3; It’s not an end, it’s a journey
Although we seem to have a time limit when we get rid of our addictions, this restriction disappears over time. Everything we do takes us on a journey as the process progresses. Each day we are freed from our addictions, we move one step further on our path to freedom. We would never want such a road to end.
Whatever happens, instead of getting addicted to our addictions and being stuck in prison, choose to go on an endless journey and be free. But like the first step of everything, filter the first step of this path through “acceptance”.
