Only when compassion is present will people allow themselves to see the truth. Watch Dr Gabor Mates 3-minute clear elucidation of pain as the the motor of addiction. Youll watch it again. Running away from pain is an evolutionary must-do on a physical level (eg: tiger chases me, I run away) but when we mistakenly carry this flight reaction over to the emotional level we land in deep trouble. The surest way to go to hell is to try to run away from hell. Recovery asks us to find a way to be with this pain, and the need for connection asks for the presence of a compassionate other. https://youtube/watch?v=T5sOh4gKPIg
