More Quotes by Ken Keyes Jr.
Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.

Lots of people look for happiness through sensations, whether it's through sex, the taste of food, the sound of music, the sensations of movies and plays, creating a certain environment in their home, and so on.

Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.
Whenever you're unhappy, your emotions are telling you that the people or things around you are not conforming to your vision of the world, or the way you think things should be.
It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.
Life is warning you to get rid of an addiction every time you are emotionally uncomfortable in any way.
By tuning in to the ocean of loving energy around you, you can have far more security, enjoyable sensations, effectiveness, and love than you would ever need in order to live a continuously beautiful life.
