Stinking Thinking

Stinking thinking” is the universal addiction. Substance addictions like alcohol and drugs are merely the most visible form of addiction, but actually we are all addicted to our own habitual way of doing anything, our own defenses, and most especially, our patterned way of thinking, or how we process our reality. The very fact we have to say this shows how much we are blinded inside of it. By definition, you can never see or handle what you are addicted to. It is always “hidden” and disguised as something else. As Jesus did with the demon at Gerasa, someone must say, “What is your name?” (Luke 8:30). The problem must be correctly named before the demon can be exorcised. You cannot heal what you do not first acknowledge. Breathing Underwater ByRichard Roth
What's my addiction?sometimes it seems like Blizzards, apple fritters, anything
scary sweet.... Or in the absence of those drugs of choce, Juuk food in general.
But that's a lie, I'm a compulsive oveeater, but my addiction is to stinking thinking, anger,resentments,
Jealousy, bitterness.
O addiction, what is your name?
Roiling emotions! That's what leads me to bingee, to feel entitled.  Get Thee behind me, emotions, give me serinity
and that delightful side effect, abstinence!
