My 30-day challenge is unique. Yes, we want to stay free for 30 days, but the challenge is really just as much about a massive increase in one quitting skill over the next 30 days. What is your #1 trigger? My #1 trigger was “Life runs me over, and now I have an excuse to run back to my habit.”
The challenge is to memorize 3 solutions that you can use to fight against your #1 trigger over the 30 days.
Second, to have written down 3 places where you “know” you can go to get 3 more solutions to fight that trigger.
Here is an example of what I memorized for my trigger:
Life still runs me over, and I still “start” to spiral downward, but now when that happens I always have the habit of “Praising the Lord.” Here is the thing, you will get more help from the Lord if you praise the Lord.
Today, consider writing down 3 things that you will memorize to fight your #1 trigger. Then start to compile articles and Bible chapters or verses that are candidates for the 3 things that you can “find” when your trigger happens again. At the end of 30 days, you might have 8-12 candidates for your 3 go-to articles.
If you have 3 solutions memorized and 3 go-to solutions available in 30 days… you will have discovered a great thing.
My new book The Fighting Lust Christian Workbook is out. 95% of the principles work for all bad habits, and these are the exact same articles I write for this column (except they are from 3-4 years ago). 99% of the articles have never been on Reddit. It is 690 pages so you can read until your eyes fall out. Please leave a good review.
