My therapist showed me a pretty good way of looking at things yesterday. she said that people are hardwired to avoid pain. So what happens, when you're in a painful stiuation, you tend to try actions that will reduce the pain. This works great if you're in reality. It doesn't work so great when you're dealing with the irrational.

So, the way to deal with these situations is understand that every possible choice you have has pain and figure out the choices that lead to healing rather than more pain.

One recommendation I can make, is to find a therapist that specializes in both addiction recovery and individual counseling. They see things from both sides of the street, so to speak.
