All addiction is caused by suppression of feelings. If we could learn how to Feel our emotions rather than fear them, ALL addictions and recovery programs would literally cease to exist.
I think that's an important part of lasting recovery but I think it's only half the picture.
I had to learn to feel again sure, and not be scared of that, but I also had to accept that I was
never going to be someone who was 'un-addicted'.
Thats not a great selling point to someone who desperately wants to be normal again...which is why a lot of self help addiction books don't tend to have that last bit....
