What's the purpose of my addiction?

What are you addicted to? Substances like your morning coffee? Mid morning junk food hit? Lunchtime cigarette? Afternoon chocolate bar? Evening G&T? Dinner bottle(s) of wine?

Or actions like all night TV binges? A 24/7 grip on your phone? Constant social media checking? Wine and whine sessions with friends? Playing the blame game? Wallowing in your victim complex? And of course any of the 'normal' things people consider 'addictions'? 

When you engage in the behaviour you consider an 'addiction', are you 100 per cent present, creating your life the way you'd like? 

If not, ask yourself "What is the purpose of my addiction?"  In other words, what awareness could you be having if you weren't being distracted by the thing(s) you're addicted to?

Then you get to choose. And if you'd like to have greater awareness and be free of distraction to create your life the way you'd prefer, ask "What will it take for me to change this?"  and take action, no matter how small.
