"The best way to quit an addiction is to become addicted to something else."
As we've already discussed, The Chemical Buddha was addicted to everything. So he considered himself an expert. His 20 years worth of addiction experience taught him to cycle through his addictions on an hourly basis so they didn't become a problem. Of course, not everyone was as advanced as TCB. Some people only had one or two addictions. In that case, he suggested picking something else to get addicted to. It didn't matter what, just something to take you away from your current troubles. To be honest, The Chemical Buddha thought that's what addiction clinics did. Help people find something new to become addicted to. He based this idea on the fact that several addicts he knew became addicted to telling people about the evils of drugs and alcohol. In addition they really got into telling people how to live.
Do you tell other people how to live? If so, do you follow your own advice?
As you look back on your life, how has what's important to you changed?
