... is The Call to Comfort! The slightest little twinge of irritation, frustration, irritation, annoyance, anxiety, or any other physical discomfort, however mild, causes people to reach out for a cigarette, a drink, an argument, a pill, a joint, sex...
I think of this as the daddy of all other addictions!
Even the challenge of a different or opposing idea can stir people to overt or covert acts of aggression or violence to self or others.
I help people to become comfortable with their discomforts. Not so much so that they settle for or resign themselves to pain and suffering (although many people do exactly that because, as the song says, 'the drugs don't work any more'), but just enough to pause and reflect so that they can choose to respond rather than react.
