In some ways, it seems impossible to form new habits. Then we see someone even more hopeless than we are, and 25 days later, they are free. Why?
They worked on quitting all the time. They worked on new habits all the time. They determined to pray quitting prayers all the time. They acted like believing scripture as written would lead them to a good life, all the time.
Second, satan will whisper a great excuse for working on quitting part-time. You are tired, you are busy, you are interested in doing something else.
Third, some people would be shocked to hear that after 6 years free, I still work on quitting full-time during tempting situations.
My tempting situations are way down because… I have no interest in the destruction that my old life had. I have no interest in giving up my joy. But temptations do happen, and when they do, I completely go to war. I go back to working on quitting full-time. I work on running from temptation instantly. I work on thinking new thoughts instantly.
Fourth, if you are busy, consider working on quitting all the time when you have time. It is that important.
Before I quit, I had zero joy. I was empty, I was dark, I was often depressed.
Now I have joy and purpose.
Fifth, to work on quitting all the time, consider reviewing old articles. Write down the things recommended to do to quit. Then, whenever you have time. Flip open that notebook, and work on something.
Finally, many people spend some time working on quitting. Some of them quit. A few people work on quitting all of the time. Many of them quit. Honestly, you will quit if you keep doing that, unless you give up that new habit.
