There are many things people use to dull their senses or to get a break from the pressures of life. For you it could be a prescription drug or alcohol maybe cigarettes, porn, adrenaline rush, shopping, sex, food, attention, television or movies...the list is endless...
The rub is this...once the cool effects wears off, we are still stuck with whatever we are wanting to escape from only worse. Longing for more...needing more for the same effects. Some are harmless like my desire to watch Son's of Anarchy, but even that leaves me wanting more...waiting for season four to start. Others can be dangerous like shopping therapy can create quite a debt and others is deadly..I'll leave it to you to fill in that blank.
I guess it all boils down to the fact everyone needs a fix. An escape of some sort from the daily grind. I suppose the best thing we can do is use our best judgment and moderation.
