The hallmark of addiction and of how addicts cope with difficulty. We escape to our drug of choice (DOC). Part of recovery--as opposed to merely abstinence from our DOC--is learning how to cope with difficulty. Some of us can read a couple of self-help books, listen to a life-improvement CD, others need one-on-one help from a professional, yet still others need the 12-steps to completely revamp our lives.
