Self medication

A friend of mine (Heidi Chase) wrote something original & brilliant which I wish I could take credit for. I wish I wrote this but it comes from a friend of mine’s blog, “self-medicating does not feed the soul”.

I think of all the days when I have spent my time watching playoff games, playing PC games, watching movies or TV. It is easy to think I am doing something I enjoy or something relaxing but at times I must admit I was just self-medicating. Why is it so easy to think filling my life & time with things that make me feel good will somehow fulfill me? Why is it so easy to pursue those things?
