The Soothers Come In to the Rescue

The Soothers Come in to the Rescue

Nov 8 

Written By Phyllis Warchol

We all have things we do to sooth ourselves. It may be having our favorite food, eating cookies, over eating, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol or using other substances.

Because when all else fails… we do what it takes

We have some positive soothers, that promote, rest, comfort, relaxing and things that bring us pleasure. Sometimes we find other things that bring pleasure as well like shopping, attending football games, exercising, having gatherings with friend, lightly use substances.

Then there are parts of use that act out, shopping too much, stealing, lying, compulsively drinking, using substances, emotionally eating.

The intension, is to bring comfort. And at times, these things have done a great job, they helped you through that “moment & time”, and then it just becomes too much and doesn’t do the job it once did.

We can become addicted to anything. It doing all the wrong things for all the right reason…

It can be help until its isn’t… and this is where choices come in…
