On addiction

Have you ever had a bad habit that you've basically kicked, but every once in a while the urge comes back to nag at you. I'm grateful that I've never had any truly dangerous addictions. Be it due to fear or horror (can think of two bad habits that were chased away by fear or horror of the action) or morality (drugs and alcohol have been a fairly easily avoided temptation for me) or control or a combination of all of these motivators, I've never gotten into drugs, or alcohol, or anorexia, or smoking, or anything truly dangerous. Mainly i think it's due to grace. Addiction's a funny thing (except that it's not funny at all). You can hate what you're doing, be utterly repulsed by it, yet feel obligated to do it, driven by an extreme need. Odd. God's grace is the best cure.
