From ADDICTIONS, A Banquet in the Grace
by Ed Welch
The basic idea is that we must cultivate the skill of living a thoughtful, careful life in which we do what is right despite our desires. It is tested when we are alone or we feel unsatisfied. What do we do when no one is looking? What do we do when cravings feel so strong that they hurt? Who or what till rule you then? Your desires or your God? Self-control is the skill of saying “no” to sinful desires, even when it hurts. (p. 215)
