如何擺脫成癮的束縛？ (How to Weaken the Hold of Addiction)
- Many of us are prey to addictive behaviours which we know run contrary to our deeper interests, but which we find ourselves entirely unable to desist from at key moments. Let's pick three of these – bulimia, porn addiction and alcoholism. We will appreciate, as soon as we come out of the tunnel of addiction, that we have neglected our interests and harmed ourselves. And yet we are at a loss as to what we might do. What, if anything, could help? One kind of answer is this. We should try to notice when the desire to regurgitate food or watch porn or drink strikes us. Though this might sound strange, those in the grip of addictions seldom do notice. They don't pay much attention to what has immediately happened before their desire strike. It doesn't occur to them that anything has. And yet, if they did look into themselves and studied the answers very carefully, they would have an important weapon with which to escape the downward spiral. And that's because, to make another generalisation, before there is ever an addictive behaviour, there is always a moment of feeling bad, very bad, about something. The triggers can be varied. A partner may not be as warm as they should be. Or someone at work seems disapproving and mean. Or one has been left out, perhaps not for the first time, of a social occasion. In other words, the triggers for addictive, self-harming behaviours are rooted in such emotions as loneliness, shame, a sense of unacceptability, a feeling of rejection or a belief one is not good enough.
我們中的許多人都有上癮的行為，我們知道這些行為與我們的深層興趣背道而馳，但在關鍵時刻我們卻發現自己完全無法戒除。讓我們選擇其中的三種--貪食症、色情成癮和酗酒。一旦我們走出成癮的隧道，我們就會明白，我們忽視了自己的興趣，傷害了自己。然而，我們卻不知所措。如果說有什麼可以幫助我們的話，那又是什麼呢？一種答案是這樣的。我們應該試著注意到自己什麼時候會有反芻食物、看色情電影或酗酒的慾望。雖然這聽起來很奇怪，但那些被毒癮控制的人很少會注意到。他們不太注意在慾望來臨之前發生了什麼。他們不會想到有任何事情發生過。然而
