Misery loves company! People experiencing rough issues want you to stay in the same spot with them, they will even sponsor your habit that you all remain there. When you are in a pit, someone there with you who is comfortable will not want you to crawl out of that pit. A change of environment, a disconnection from certain people is critical to you rising from your hole or rising to your next appointed level. And when you rise up, lift up someone else who is struggling in the same pit you came from. To all those struggling to break addictions and harmful habits, may God grant you grace, strength and courage to fight, to keep living and to overcome.
