Resolute to Not Substitute: Just Be

Everyone's heard the saying, "old habits die hard." When it comes to breaking habits most people tend to find a replacement. That sounds like a very intelligent, reasonable solution, and it does work, but what do we do when we want to quit our replacement? When it comes to substance addictions we are generally under the impression that consuming will stimulate our brains and give us joy and contentment. Why does it have to be that we must ingest to enjoy? Why is that always the path we go down? It's just going to cause discomfort. The point of putting anything into the body is to sustain our lives and nourish our bodies. Once we've gotten ourselves to cease the consumption of chemicals, what do we do about the urge to fill ourselves to the brim with as much as I can get? Only when we come to the realization that more isn't better will be begin to break these habits and allow ourselves to feel content simply by being conscious and able.
