The old joke goes something like this:

“I keep hitting myself on the head with a hammer because it feels so good when I stop.”

It’s a playground joke, but there is humor in it and there is humor in it because it contains an element of truth. I inflict damage to myself, trying to experience a moment of pleasure. Addiction is like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer.

Spiritual therapy is an integral part of recovery and is increasing borrowing from other traditions.
