The latest wave of teachings I'm learning, concerning addictions and other negative behaviors is the 'unlearning of harmful responses to stress and other triggers'. It makes logical sense. If logic is strong enough to help much,remains to be seen.
They ask us questions like,how do we respond to stresses? Like social pressure? Work performance pressure? Etc.
Then we examine our responses, discuss them,decide if we think they're effective or mature or productive,etc. Do we think they're counterproductive,responsable,etc. If we felt they were negative responses,what would be a more appropriate response? How could we change ourself to respond the way we would like to?
Pretty basic,simple and streight forward.
Another portion of the program is geared to discovering alternative social and personal practices.
I hope this works but if it doesn't,all isn't lost because it's sorta fun.
