Brother, To the outside world you may be a model citizen, a good father, a decent employee, a great boss, a loving husband.. That's not the side of you I write for. I write for the recesses of your mind that are hidden from the world. The part of you, you wish you could change..
Every man wants to do good. There is no doubt about it. He wants to do right by his family, his duty to his craft, shoulder the will of the gods and lead a life that he is proud of. However, its not that simple. Life always have variables that throw a wrench into the grand plan..
You may be one of these men. Along the way, for a multitude of reasons, you hit a snag. You fell for temptation. A vice, a habit. At the moment it felt harmless, a little escape from the singular dimension of life, an innocent piece of pleasure to relax.. but is that all?
Over time like all vice, the seed you sow has taken root. It spreads its infestation into every corner of your life, feeding on your vitality. You are barely holding on, desperately keeping it from spilling over and destroying everything you hold dear.. and at the root of it all,
Craving. Everytime you try to beat this habit, cravings pull you back. Just one more time, one small hit, one more video, one tiny sip, one puff of smoke. Your brain spitting words of encouragement to indulge in what is slowly ruining you. Why? have you no willpower to say NO?
I will tell you what happens with a story.
See in the year 1998, renowned psychologists Baumeister and Tice made a little science experiment
They put 67 kids through what can be described only as torture for kids
(its not evil, read on)

Innocent children were put in a room with freshly baked, hot, chocolate covered cookies.
Imagine, the aroma, the sight, hungry drooling kids hoping for one little bite of a tasty cookie.. but no, instead they were only allowed to eat from a box of radishes

The distracted kids were taken to another room and given puzzles to solve and then left unsupervised in the room with cookies.
Overtime, they observed the kids could no longer fight off the temptation and picked a cookie over a radish in spite of the restriction
Why?

Why?
EGO FATIGUE
The human willpower is not infinite. When you use too much of it, it fatigues. Ego depletion it is called.
The puzzles ran through the kids mental energy and they no longer had the will to resist.
Brother, this is exactly what happens to you.

Life in itself is stressful, there are daily challenges.
You as a regular human being DO NOT have the fortitude of mind to say no to the brain rush from dopamine
This is why you relapse to craving.
Your willpower is just depleted.
Barren.

What is an alternate solution to breaking out of this habit / addiction dopamine loop?

When you are an addict or in the throws of a compulsive habit, your neo cortex in the brain is disoriented, grey matter is thinning and you are trapped in the NOW appeal.
You lose executive decision control and reaching out for that cigarette / drink becomes automatic
So what?

So you need awareness. You need to train your brain to be mindful to identify when you are triggered and going to engage in your old patterns of behavior
Next, you need systems
Systems to handle every step of the addiction cycle
Trigger - Craving - Ritual - Indulgence

Bottom line is, you are fighting cravings the wrong way. This is why you always relapse and fail to stick to your plan to be sober. This is unnecessary suffering. You can win, you just need better tools and understanding. That's what I'm here for.
