How to be free from any addiction? It's easy!
Before you read through this article, let me clarify one thing. This solution will work ONLY IF you WANT to get out of the addictions you have.
This will work for all types of addictions including ones mentioned below.
1.) Alcohol
2.) Smoking
3.) Drugs
One of the enlightened ones said "You are not addicted to things (like alchohol,drugs, etc), you are addicted to the sensations/feelings that you get as a result of being in contact with those things."
For example,
If you are an alcoholic person, when you see or "think of" a whisky, rum, or beer or any kind of liquors, there will be sensations generated all over your body which will try to make you have a sip of the liquor to satisfy its craving.
"You must have seen people shiver when they do not get alcohol/drugs whenever they want."
Now, at this moment, if you do not want to have that sip of alcohol, you will try to control it. More you control, more your body and mind crave for it.
Here's how to deal with craving of Mind-n-Body for alcohol or anything.
"DO NOT CONTROL your mind."
When you have such sensations generated on your body, just OBSERVE it. Do NOT REACT!!! Reactions will cause more sensations and there will be a chain reaction and you will end up having that sip.
As you observe and focus on your breathing and sensations without reacting to it IN ANY WAY , these sensations will go away and you will come out of that craving.
In fact, you will never know how and when you started thinking of something else after coming out of that desire of having alcohol at that moment of time.
NOTES: These sensations will keep on "coming and going" at any time, DO NOT REACT to them.
FEEL THEM, OBSERVE THEM, LET THEM GO.
Repeat above steps whenever you have such craving/desire of anything. This way you will be habituated to this practice, you will be comfortable dealing with such sensations/feelings/desires and eventually you will be addiction-free.
This article has been written based on the example given by the enlightened one!
You are sitting under a tree at a clean pond. Suddenly, a group of animals jump into the pond, spoiling it and then move out of the pond. You keep on observing the spoiled pond without doing any action on it. Water in the pond gradually becomes STILL, letting the soil and junk in it settled down to the ground of the pond, again becoming CLEAN as it was earlier before animals jumped into it.
Our MIND is like a pond. It gets spoiled with bad thoughts like desire for alcohol/drugs in this case. If we do not react to these thoughts/sensations, these desires/thoughts/sensations settled down similar to how soil/junk settled down in the pond in the example given above.
Wish you an addiction-free life! :)
Following actions from your side will motivate me to write many such articles for you. :)
