That's the escape that drives most of us to the bottle or drugs. The need to get away from ourselves. Our troublesome brain and thoughts.

But recovery is about not escaping in a substance, but to find healthy alternatives to quiet the brain. Or if not, learning to just sit with it, to be comfortable with our sober selves.
