Lesson Overview

1.09 – How to Deactivate Addictive Thinking: Addictive thinking thrives on speed, convincing you that one impulsive choice will solve everything. Slowing thought loops is the key to disarming them. When you label a craving thought—“that’s my addiction talking”—you step outside it. Grounding your attention in breathing, counting, or sensation brings logic back online. Writing thoughts down separates fantasy from fact; the paper can’t lie. Over time, mindfulness retrains your brain to observe without obeying every urge. Replace obsessive thoughts with small purposeful actions—drinking water, cleaning a space, calling a friend—that shift momentum. Addictive thinking loses grip when you consistently act opposite to its demands. The brain learns new defaults by repetition, not force. You’re not fighting thoughts; you’re rewiring them. Each calm interruption weakens their authority until recovery becomes your automatic setting rather than a constant battle of will.
