When we ask "will I ever stop this obsessive compulsive behavior?" or "will this EVER stop?" (about almost anything difficult) we feel hopelessness and despair. 

We're looking closely at what doesn't work. We're seeing so much proof that this thing or condition or situation is incredibly persistent and relentless, and never-ending. Notice how you feel when you see it this way. Notice where the mind travels.

Then, be sure to ask the question: Who are you without this story? What if you turned towards noticing that "stopping" happens constantly? That peace is available to you, for you, inside of you? What if you didn't believe what you're thinking?

It seems hard to focus on what works instead of what does not. But it may be easier than our apparent one-track minds are making it out to be.
