I finally realized that I have never allowed myself to feel discomfort and used everything at my disposal to make sure I'll never have to feel it. This addiction was one of my strongest tools. This realization has changed my life over the past two weeks. 
I think we really have to get to the bottom of what we are escaping and recognize how to deal with that because it can change everything.

And I'm the therapist lol. Just comes to show how different it is viewing myself compared to others. But even without this idea I've been to years of therapy and this is the first time this point has really been addressed.
