"Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything.
- 1 Corinthians 6:12
Today I have been feeling resentment. I resent that it is "not permissible" for me to act out and comfort myself with my addictive behavior. I resent the expectations placed upon me by others.
But this verse reminds me that it is not others who are restricting my behavior. I am free to choose whether or not to act out. I am choosing not to act out despite the temptations (and excuses and justifications) to do so. So I need not resent anyone else - rather I need to recognize that the choice to be sober can be difficult and comes with the cost of self-denial.

Choose silk around cotton. Cotton pillowcases can be bad for extended locks because it brings about pauses and problems for your own hair in the event it catches in the corners, and so on. This occurs when you throw and convert throughout the night. Attempt investing in a silk pillowcase to lower the amount of damage the pillowcase may possibly do.
