Dealing with addiction



I have to come clean on something, having some spare time (still being unemployed) and an Internet broadband access, sometime it gets out of control - I spend too much time browsing than working on actual stuffs, and this is getting ridiculous.

That's something you can't really fight efficiently ; I mean usually there's 2 scenarios :

  • I wasn't looking for something "saucy" but there it is in front of me, because of some link I just clicked

Now the last way I found is actually to look at the offending picture and thinking "I respect you (dear woman), I acknowledge that you're a beautiful person and I appreciate what you're showing to me, I really hope you have joy in your life and you're happy to do what you do ... Thank you!"


  • If I'm actively looking for something "saucy" because (I guess) I want a little "instant gratification"

Then I'm trying to remember that little story about the 2 wolves, that goes like this :

 An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.

"
A fight is going on inside me" he says to the boy.  "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One is evil - he is anger, envy sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is good - he is gratitude, joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy ,generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too.
"

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather which wolf would win.


The old Cherokee simply replied, "
The one you feed."
