Distractions

Books are a distraction.

Television is a distraction.

Work is a distraction.

Alcohol is a distraction

They take you away to a different place, away from the problem, however briefly.

But why don't we just address the problem?

Maybe its because we just don't have the answers, or because its not within our control, because we cannot bear to solve it, or maybe, just maybe, because the problem seems so insurmountable.

Distractions are necessary.

distractions are part of the recovery process. one day it'll hit you that without distractions, your heart doesn't feel that same painful way. however if you're escapist by nature, you'll realize that distractions are merely...distractions...
