#KICK-YOUR- HABIT for ONE
WEEK
Most people have that one thing that is
hard to give up and that we cling to, those habits
that we use as 'crutches' to cope with emotional pain, stress, boredom. We
use these to escape or to have fun. Perhaps
excessive shopping, eating sweets or chocolates or junk food , compulsive
cleaning, excessive exercising or being too much of a health fanatic, love or
sex addiction, gaming or television addictions, social media and other
technology addictions, smoking cigarettes, caffeine drinks such as coffee, soft drinks and many others.
People use drugs/alcohol for similar reasons and their addictions have become
all consuming and debilitating.
The Kick-Your-Habit challenge is part of the awareness SANCA
wishes to create regarding how difficult it is for people to quite drugs for a
life time. But the most important reason is for you to understand that
addiction difficult to change and it will take a lot of effort, commitment and
tenacity to give it up. After giving up that ONE HABIT FOR ONE WEEK, you will be able to identify and empathize
with someone going through the process of recovery and provide the support and
understanding they need to life a drug-free lifestyle.
What are you prepared to give up during this week’s
challenge? Think of a habit that you have developed and challenge yourself and
friends to give it up for from the 24th to the 30th of
June 2016. If you are up for the challenge, purchase your KICK-YOUR-HABIT sticker at your closest SANCA branch for only R10 and pledge what you want to
give up.
Dare your friends, your family, colleagues at work, other
companies and organizations to do the same. Share your experiences with us by
posting it on our SANCA National Facebook page or on our Twitter account. We
