What do you know about addictions?

We are living in a modern world where one way or the other is about instant relief and quick distraction and satisfaction. We want to enjoy and have everything now, we do not want to wait, think or work on ourself. Our culture, both psychologically and economically, is based on not supporting people to be with themselves. All substances of abuse are pain killers, both emotional and physical, but the suffering is experienced in the same part of the brain. As Eckhart Tolle said: “Addictions begin with pain and end with pain.” All addictions are the attempts to soothe the pain, so it is not about the addiction itself but the pain, emotional traumas, etc.

Taking short-cuts and experiencing “quick getaway” might seams easier at that moment, but where do we end up and how to find our true self? The only way is to find a way of being with your pain so that you can get to know what it is all about and understand how to find your true path and happiness.

The power is in your hands, you are much stronger than you think. It is a matter of getting away from the cage and to adapt to your environment. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying got great line in it: “Whatever you do, don’t try and escape from your pain, but be with it.” By trying to escape from pain you create more pain.
