I think ultra religiousness is like an old pair of shoes. They are familiar and comfortable but no longer give any support. Faith and ultra religious focus are not the same thing....that's my take on it.
Yes, it is absolutely a trigger! Audiobooks are a good idea; or I could just pick up a book. I used to read a lot but rarely do now. I'm not even sure what would interest me at this point.

As far as ultra religiousness, I agree and that is a good analogy. I generally have a safe and healthy faith, one that I don't obsess about. In my experience, it's WHEN my faith turns to ultra religiousness that I am in the red zone. That's when my behaviors are most erratic and when in the past I have heard the voice of God. At least at this point I have discernment but I'm afraid it may not last. Am I making sense?
