Dallas Bragg argues that meth numbs users from difficult emotions, making quitting the drug easier than facing what comes after. The real work isn't stopping, he says, but handling the feelings that surface once the buffer is gone.
Okay, listen up. You think that when you finally let go of meth, you'll be happy, content, and free. Wrong. You've been holding on to meth because subconsciously you know it is acting as a buffer to shield you from all the emotions and uncomfortable work required to be happy, content, and free. Quitting meth is the easy part. Being faced with all that comes up is the real work. Share this with somebody who needs to hear it.
