Addictions
My mother failed to breast-feed me as a child. I was fed from a bottle instead. It is no fault of my mother’s that this happened. Lack of breast feeding prolonged my oral needs and inhibited my ability to be intimate with my mother. I replaced this infantile need for intimacy with unhealthy relationships with people, with cigarettes, with food, with the TV and with drinking things that are unhealthy. So I have developed an intimate relationship with cigarettes, food, TV, alcohol, drugs and unhealthy people and letting go of these things makes me feel as if I am giving up an intimate partner. It is ok to give up these intimate partners. They are destructive partners no matter how comforting they may seem. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, TV, overeating, are all promoted by toxic people who have no concern for my personal well being. Their only concern is money and they project their destructiveness onto me. I will stop them from projecting this destruction onto me.

Television uses up all of my creative energy sorting out what I have seen on the Television screen so that I am unable to spend that energy working out my problems or achieving my goals. This is what happens. What I view on the television during my waking hours is stored in my right brain. Then my left brain has to interpret all of this information.
