依存症の克服方法 (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.
私たちの多くは、自分の深い関心に反するとわかっていながら、肝心なときにまったくやめられない嗜癖的行動の餌食になっている。過食症、ポルノ依存症、アルコール依存症の3つを挙げてみよう。中毒のトンネルから抜け出せばすぐに、私たちは自分の利益をないがしろにし、自分自身を傷つけてきたことを理解するだろう。しかし、どうすればいいのか途方に暮れてしまう。助けになるものがあるとすれば何だろう？ひとつの答えはこうだ。食べ物を食べたくなったり、ポルノを見たくなったり、お酒を飲みたくなったりしたときに、それに気づくようにするこ
