Well, yes, I think addicts often look for drama in their lives. It was something I used to do, almost unintentionally. But, looking back on it, I was seeking drama. I loved any kind of excitement, the adrenaline rush.
And, as for the easy way out, of course she is looking for an easy way out. We probably all did that. I kept figuring there had to be an easier way than just suffering through it. And, there isn't!
And, for detox, I think it would work differently for different people.
Please focus on you and taking care of yourself.
