Tuesday’s Reflection
IN ONE WAY or another, many of us struggle with some form of addictive behavior. Think of the various substances on which we can so easily become dependent. These range from the more pleasurable ones like caffeine, chocolate, and sweets, to the more dangerous like diet pills and tranquilizers. Other activities can take over our lives, like gambling, making money, work, helping others, physical exercise, watching pornography, or overeating, to name a few. Some people have become hooked on the Internet and on playing computer games.
Admitting the reality of our weaknesses is the first and most important step on the journey toward change.
