This is one of the many reasons I do Grief Recovery Work. This study addresses smoking and drinking. What about drugs, retail therapy, working all the time to stay busy, food, binge watching TV all the time, perfectionism, isolation and the many other ways of coping. We need to do more than just address behaviors. We have to identify and address what is behind the behaviors. Over the course of my life I have been involved with all of these at one time or another and probably more. So grateful for grief recovery. I would love your thoughts on this.

Other negative emotions showed no correlation.

There is hope with grief recovery which is why I am so passionate about it. Going through my own recovery and now helping others has truly been life changing.

Pain sucks! I didn’t always know this – and to be honest, sometimes I wasn’t very kind to people who were experiencing pain – the physical kind at least. I’ll admit, I thought they should “toughen up and deal with it.
