        If you can’t quit, something specific is the reason. Consider rating each topic below from 1-10 with 10 being best for quitting. That way you will know what types of articles you should be searching for.
        Alternate activities _____
        Daily Bible-study _____
        Daily prayer time (A block of time in prayer) _____
        The habit of praying quitting prayers _____
        Replacing bad thoughts with good thoughts or prayers _____
        Fighting negative emotions _____
        Avoiding friends who cause temptation _____
        Avoiding going to tempting locations _____
        Ability to cope when bad things happen _____
        Ability to fight triggers _____
        Interest in moving toward purpose _____
        Consistent awareness of the destruction it causes _____
        Fear of God _____
        Righteousness _____
        Other _____
        Consider reminding yourself often of what is most important to work on. If you have little fear of God, print out articles that teach the fear of God. If you are weak in righteousness, fill up your quitting notebook with every tip on how to go to war with sin. Sin leads to sin. Sin leads back to habits, sin kills joy.
        Second, we dig out the root with a new article, plus reviewing key old articles about topics that you need extra advice for.
        Example: Jonny is great at quitting for about 5 days, then something bad happens. He falls.
        So Jonny searches: Bad things happening, trials, plus two more ways of saying what he is experiencing. He finds specific articles that will plug that leak.
        He studies today’s article plus notes or old specific articles that he knows will help him stay free when bad things happen.
        He searches his weak topic in this column and at Google.
        In some article I will say exactly what I do when bad things happen. At some point he memorizes new techniques. Now his weakness is a strength.
        Third, know exactly what you need to improve at. Read extra notes or articles about that topic daily. Print this out and pray about exactly what you should work on. If you are someday willing to do what God wants you to do, He will guide you in this process. Then… you just need to put in the work.
        I am replacing these emails with the “Same article” in Reddit. Joining Reddit is free so please find r/QuitDrinkingChristian or r/QuitDrugsChristian so that when these emails stop you will still be able to find the articles.
