Changes require consistency part 2

So why don’t we remove the things that aren’t consistent with the change that I wish to see from my life? Why don’t I do it?

When I ask myself this question, the answer that comes up is that when I have the ability to choose, I manage to convince myself that I might need those things in my weaker moments. But of couse this is utter nonsense. The only thing these things do, is help me to avoid dealing with my real issues. They help me to distract myself from my problems till I get tired, go to sleep and wake up to other distractions, when what I might need, for example, is to think through my situation carefully, or have a good cry.
