Addicted to Drama? - by Leslie Smith

Do you think that you are addicted to drama?

Sometimes we are attracted to pain and suffering, the drama in our lives. This is something that we learn from an early age. And while, when we were young, the first time we suffered it was probably shocking, and very hurtful, we then became used to this feeling of pain. We can become attracted to the drama in life because it is comforting. We can become addicted to pain, believe it or not. I know it sounds crazy, suffering as comfort, but the truth of the matter is that when we become comfortable with something, we strive to continue in this comfort, painful as it can be, subconsciously. If there is not drama in our lives, we look for it, we wonder why the drama is gone, and then cannot continue on until we find it. We can become depressed and anxious if there is no drama. Drama is a drug.

When we are content, we begin to stir things up. Something must be wrong if things feel content. Right?

To become free from the drama, we must become observant in all things that we do. We must become observant on the things which we think, the things that we feel, the things that we say, the things which we respond to. BE-come the observer, the witness, instead of the participant.

Strive to let go of the drama, the addiction to pain and suffering. You are not meant to live in a state of pain and suffering. Such trickery you have been led into, but you can lead yourself out of it.

Begin today.

In the Light,
