Quotes to ponder:
"When we are engaged in numbing behaviors, we are disconnected from ourselves emotionally, unaware of and unable to feel our real feelings."
"Next time you feel that compelling urge to escape or numb a feeling, take a deep breath instead and ask yourself: 'What am I trying to avoid right now?'"
"Resisting the urge to numb will help you to build mental muscle, to realize what a powerful force the 'urge' to escape reality is, and to gain a more profound and fulfilling level of connection to life."
