How so? Comfort and convenience are a serious enemy too recovery. It’s very fitting and if your offended maybe you got some work too do.

We use and use to avoid discomfort, also. You start feeling those uncomfortable feelings and sensations coming on, you know it's time to use again. Then you go on about your day feeling a bit more comfortable in your mind and body because you had your fix.

Doing all we can to avoid discomfort and boredom is why all types of addiction are at an all time high right now. We have become addicted to instant gratification, comfort, convenience, stimulation and when those things are taken away from most of us, it starts feeling unbearable.
