you probably read this and thought "there's no point writing it down like some silly therapy exercise, i already know my vice is bad, that's why i want to quit it!"
yeah, you know it is starting to show some negatives, but behind the scenes, in your incomplete analysis of the situation, you currently experience more enjoyment from your vice than displeasure. you still want to do it, so it's based on you forcing yourself not to do something your own brain really wants you to do with willpower. it's a losing battle. that willpower needs rests, it has weaknesses, and you know for a fact already it will break when a trigger hits you at those vulnerable moments. it's too easy for it to let in a trojan horse of temptation, get a foot in the door with some exception to the rules you try to impose on yourself.
it's about making it click that you really don't want to do it at all, it's shit and not even close to being worth it. it's right there in black and white. you have travelled to the future and brought back the receipt from your purchase. you know it to be your true and well reasoned thoughts, without doubt, rather than just a feeling of guilt rolling around your head now and then, and it would take someone to pay you a significant amount to keep doing that stupid, destructive act, to offset the price you will pay.
maybe i should have used capital letters in these posts but it's too late now.
