Coveting and fantasizing

I attend church every Sunday and during last Sunday's sermon, my minister was discussing the Ten Commandments. One of these directs us not to covet what our neighbor has. I have been guilty of this all of my life. This is because I always compare myself with others and without fail, come up short. I have learned in the hardest way possible that comparing yourself to others is like falling down a rabbit hole in which you never escape. Because of this, one of my priorities is to reduce and eventually eliminate comparing myself to others.
I have discussed previously my struggle with fantasizing and euphoric recall. None of these things just magically disappear in recovery but they do get easier to manage as time passes.
To summarize, 2 of my most important goals are to stop comparing and fantasizing. Wish me lots of luck!!!
