someone explained to me that overcoming addiction has something to do with really realizing what is in our own self-interest.
Addiction is ok if you do entertain yourself for awhile. As long as you aren't gripped by it. Nothing is wrong with a usual and frequent escape. But when I want to escape completely even if it's just to lounge around with a "silent" mind, then there is nothing constructive. But if out of that silent mind comes something creative and sustaining and it allows for new views, understandings, searchings, learnings to complmenetn the waunderings and longings, then it's good.
