I think it's interesting you say that. I certainly am "dwelling" on the problem right now (appropriately) because I'm still getting my 'sea legs,' as it were, regarding my recovery. However, once I get comfortable with this recovery thing and feel more stable, I see getting regular support, even if it has nothing to do with "dwelling" on addiction issues, as being something I must continue to do in my life. Maybe it's a dispositional thing and I just do better being around people.
I figure the world is spinning at 365,000 miles per hour or something and even when drugs and etoh become a distant memory in my life I'll still need people to hang on to. Makes things less lonely and the world more comfortable.
