Occasionally

Occasionally something comes along that has something add. Well maybe.

So the act of eating whets the desire. Well, well. We try it for whatever reason, and the idea get locked into our mind. The behavior becomes locked in, and we forget the reason we started in the first place, but we keep on the behavior. It becomes a problem, and we cannot stop, for the behavior has become natural, us. We are that behavior. We are now left to change ourselves.

That is what recovery is all about; changing our nature to something we were not. And that behavior is an exclusion of one of our normal behaviors. So we are left with what? Less than we were.

It is then not about not doing something, but rather doing something new. It is about developing a new desire to do something different, what ever that might be as a replacement for what we did before.
