"Drugs help you forget your problems by giving you bigger ones."
Before he recognized the enlightenment potential of drugs and alcohol, The Chemical Buddha just drank and drugged to forget his problems. (Which included several shameful, childhood incidents with the family gerbil.) But he found the issues he was trying to forget were compounded by behaviors he didn't remember because he was under the influence of his medicine/liquor cabinet. All of that changed, however, when his freakishly strong ability to rationalize and reframe any and every thing, allowed him to justify all of his addictions by calling it his 'spiritual path'. And the rest, as they say, is history. It was also the foundation of a drug fueled religious movement the likes of which the world hasn't seen since the creation of various so-called Pagan religions, Catholicism, and New Age religions of the 1960s.
What problems are you trying to avoid?
Does avoiding them make them go away or make them worse?
