Great post. I think addictions are like compulsive behaviours but harder to say no to. Having dealt with a major addiction and not having any more problems with it, another compulsive type behaviour has stuck and its very tricky. It seems the more I look for solutions sometimes the more I go into the behaviour. But I think I often use it as a slingshot. ie. feeling down, bored, feeling like acting out. I get an opportunity to question thoughts or have mindul awareness and take "response able" action or notice a belief or way of thinking that wasn't helping. Then writing it down or taking a walk, chatting to someone or some other healthy action that frees the energy. It doesn't always work or the space in the compulsive thinking isn't always there but it does seem to work sometimes and its great when it does. Hi. Great post.

I'm planning to touch on addiction as a way to avoid facing emotions in future articles, but my experience on this subject is more limited. Is there anything specific you'd like to see? Or are there any specific questions you think aren't addressed (or addressed enough) by what's already out there on the web? Hi Pali, I haven’t written on this topic yet.
