如何擺脫成癮的束縛？ (How to Weaken the Hold of Addiction)
- Over a time, the addictive behaviour offers a kind of soothing, an escape from an intolerable discomfort. Vomiting after a meal brings a sense of lightness. Porn leads one into a series of physical highs. A state of drunkenness stills critical voices. The way to start to break the pattern of addiction is simply to realise, before we have rushed to the addictive solution, that we are in trouble. That we have, for whatever reason, grown very sad and hopeless about ourselves and therefore that we are in a danger zone and need help now rather than in a few hours. We have to become better historians and observers of our moods and aim to put a gap, in time and in mental activity, between the moment when we are hurt and the moment when we reach for our self-destructive solution. If we manage to slow down the process, then we should be able to wake ourselves up from our narcotic impulses and say, in a profoundly helpful way, I am upset. Just the realisation that we are so is half the battle at least. I am feeling deeply upset and therefore I am in danger. And from here, we can ask another extremely pertinent set of questions. What am I upset about? How am I upset? We may need to close our eyes and just sit still for a moment to let the answer percolate from the unconscious. Alternatively, we might try and complete the following sentence. I am currently feeling upset because… It is one of the quirks of the strange brains we all have that it can take so long to know what we are feeling and to understand what might have caused it. When we do start to notice our upset, then we can begin the business of self-soothing in more fruitful ways. One side can run an arm around the other and say in effect, poor you, how awful to be feeling awful again. Almost certainly, in early life, no one had much sympathy or the remotest bit of interest in our feelings of loss, self-hatred and abandonment. That is why we find it so hard to get interested in them ourselves. But we can patch up the damage. We can ask, how am I feeling about myself and what has happened to give me that feeling? We can replace addiction with self-compassion and understanding. No one falls prey to addictions by coincidence.
隨著時間的推移，上癮行為提供了一種撫慰，一種對難以忍受的不適的逃避。飯後嘔吐會帶來一種輕鬆感。色情會讓人進入一系列的生理高潮。酩酊大醉的狀態能平息責備的聲音。打破上癮模式的方法很簡單，那就是在我們急於找到上癮的解決辦法之前，意識到我們遇到了麻煩。不管出於什麼原因，我們已經對自己感到非常悲傷和絕望，是以我們正處於危險之中，現在就需要幫助，而不是幾個小時之後。我們必須成為更好的情緒歷史學家和觀察者，在時間和心理活動上，在我們受到傷害的那一刻和我們採取自我毀滅的解決方案的那一刻之間留出空白。如果我們能夠放慢這個

讓心靈無拘無束地追隨自己的衝動和傾向，直到它準備好並願意接受我們的權威。
