Alcohol abuse turns to unhealthy eating | ASK AMY | Life | Calgary Sun.

Amazing isn’t it ?

Medicine, Science and society in general NOT GETTING THE ‘WHY’ of substance abuse… in this case call it ALCOHOL ADDICTION. Substitute any other one for the word ‘ALCOHOL’.

STANDARDIZED DEFINITION OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE !

NOPE – NOT SELF DESTRUCTIVE HABITS OR LACK THEREOF OF DARWINIAN AWARDS.

IT IS THE BODY’S AND MIND’S ATTEMPTS TO INTEGRATE A SHORTCUT VERSION OF ‘HEAT’ PLUS PRESSURE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HASTEN ENLIGHTENMENT.

PROBLEM IS NOT SUBSTANCE ABUSE ITSELF, BUT PASSING A SAFE LIMIT WHERE THE BOUNDARY OF PAIN/PLEASURE BECOMES ONLY ‘PAIN’ AND THEN BECOMES HABITUAL SELF DESTRUCTION. IN SEEKING PLEASURE AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO STOP IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE THAT SOCIETY FACES IN TERMS OF REHABILITATION OF ALL SUBSTANCE ABUSERS.

TRICK IS TO CHANGE ALL THE FAMILIAR WAR TORN WEARY HABITS INTO UNFAMILIAR MIND CHALLENGING ONES.

YOU ARE TRYING TO TURN SUBCONSCIOUS NEEDS INTO CONSCIOUS AWARENESS… YEP, NOT A STRAIGHT LINE UNTIL THEY GET IT. AKA MEANING… PEOPLE FLIP/FLOP BACK AND FORTH… WEAVING BACK INTO OLD HABITS AS THEY TRY TO COPE WITH CHANGE AND FALLBACK ON THE FAMILIAR. CALL IT A SANITY SAFETY CHECK UNTIL NEW NEURONS CHECK IN TO CHANGE THE MIND’S SCENERY AND LANDSCAPE.

BUT… IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BODY FIRST THINGS FIRST, WHAT MATTERS MOST.
