[Eric H]

Greetings and peace be with you friend, welcome to the forum, I hope you will feel encoured by everyone here.

I have struggled with bad habits all my life and I am only 59. I kind of know what to do, but knowing and doing are two very different things. You need the will to change, and ask God for help in your prayers.

This quote is profound

Destiny Douglas C Hess

Watch Your Thoughts, For They Become Words,
Choose Your Words, For They Become Actions,
Understand Your Actions, For They Become Habits.
Study Your Habits, For They Become Your Character,
Develop Your Character, For It Becomes Your Destiny.

It all starts from your thoughts, so if you can control and influence your thoughts through prayer that is the start.

In the spirit of praying for an inner peace that surpasses all understanding
