We all have our addictions
Some are worse then others in obvious sense
Others are worse in more insidious ways

It’s the harmless ones that I keep going back to that take up all of my time.
You seem the mind needs space to breathe and inspiration.

My addictions strangle my mind and blur out my imagination in the nicest possible way

As said it is largely thought of as harmless, no big deal, everyone does it

But it drains me
Takes away my special energy
Blocks me mentally
It also creates distance in my relationships
In my most important relationships

And these moments I lose will soon add up to a lifetime

If I try to fight it off but it bounces back even harder
Like a spring pushed back with tension building until it explodes

The best way for me to deal with it is to almost eliminate the opportunity for it to appear or more importantly root out the urge

Don’t give it a chance to enter my mind
Drown it, slowly and surely
Not suddenly but slowly, one day at a time

This way the tension and the urge don’t build so strongly

The other thing is to admit I am almost powerless when it strikes me
I know this sounds like a cop out
But the truth is I am powerless
It takes me and I don’t stop

What all this means is I need to understand that I can do little on my own and I need help from my environment as much as possible

It’s about understanding that if it does strike I need to change
Change my environment
Change my settings
Change the direction

The setting impels
And if there is one thing I can control it’s my setting
