Action Addictions

“Addicted to my distractions.”
As you may have noticed, The Chemical Buddha was addicted to a lot (and we do mean a lot) of things. But we think he was really trying to distract himself from his unhappy childhood, and problems holding down a job or finding a good woman. Although he would say his jumping around was about being in the moment and trying to take in as much as possible. And while, on the surface, that seems like a pretty good answer, we’re almost positive that seems like what was going on. But take it from us, once TCB got wasted or came he curled up into the fetal position and bawled like a baby about his childhood. Luckily, he wouldn’t remember any of it because he was soooo wasted.
How do you justify your behavior?
What do you try to forget? Do you think it’s possible to forget the things you’re trying to forget or do the memories come up at the wrong time?
What would work better for you to let them go? Talking about them and releasing them, or stuffing them and trying to forget them?
