I keep eating too much chocolate and other delights that are not good for me, until I feel sick and regretful that I ever started. One of the difficulties with addictions is that once you start it is hard to stop at a sensible point. And if it is in the house it is hard to resist in the first place. An obvious solution is to have little or no temptation around, to buy little and often rather than stockpile. I wonder how other addicts manage with this? If it is not easy to buy whatever your poison is, more than a daily amount must be purchased in one sitting, only then it is There.
It's not easy to buy any addictive substance on Easter Sunday, lots of places are shut. Chocolate isn't hard to come by tho. Here's hoping I can find the required willpower. Or maybe I will still feel so ill that I won't want any? (Addictions don't work like that tho do they.)
We picked "sing to God with joy and gladness" to open this morning's service with. I think it's important to keep striving for gratitude. Joy is always an added bonus but not something that can be enforced. I will keep looking for it and hopefully by the time we come go sing will have found some.
A bomb in a park by a playground with many families out on Easter Sunday. No wonder the joy is hard to spot.
