Narcflix: A Short Movie - should I publish!

  Narcflix: A Short Movie Narcissists Gone Wild:  Viewer Discretion,  Popcorn  &  Holy Sh*t Moments Advised 🎬 INTRODUCTION “Narcissists Gone Wild: Viewer Discretion, Popcorn, and Holy Shit Moments Advised” Welcome to the greatest sh*tshow on earth. You didn’t ask for a front-row seat to the narcissist circus—but here you are, popcorn in hand, jaw slightly dropped, watching a grown adult self-destruct in real time while still thinking they’re the hero of the story. This book isn’t here to diagnose. This isn’t therapy. This is the highlight reel of narcissistic chaos —the unhinged drama, the Oscar-worthy fake tears, the “Am I the drama?” moments (spoiler: yes, yes they are). It’s the psychological car crash that you can’t look away from, but this time, you're not the one getting hit. Whether you’ve dated one, worked with one, been raised by one, or just made the mistake of replying to one’s text—you know exactly the brand of chaos we’re talkin...

How to overcome any addiction by simply not using it as an avoidance method

 avoidance can play a significant role in addiction recovery. Let’s explore how:

  1. Facing Triggers:

    • Recovery involves confronting triggers—situations, emotions, or people that previously led to substance use.
    • Avoidance: Some individuals avoid these triggers, believing it’s the safest approach.
    • Recovery: However, true recovery often means facing these triggers head-on. Therapists guide individuals through exposure therapy, helping them build resilience and coping skills.
  2. Avoiding Relapse:

    • Relapse is common during recovery. Avoidance can be a double-edged sword.
    • Avoidance: Some people avoid situations where relapse might occur (parties, old friends, stress).
    • Recovery: While avoiding high-risk situations initially is wise, long-term recovery involves learning to navigate them without turning to substances.
  3. Avoiding Self-Deception:

    • Self-deception perpetuates addiction. Avoidance of self-awareness or denial is harmful.
    • Avoidance: People may avoid acknowledging their addiction’s severity or the need for help.
    • Recovery: Honesty with oneself and seeking professional support are essential steps toward recovery.
  4. Avoiding Emotional Pain:

    • Emotional pain often drives addiction. Avoiding it perpetuates the cycle.
    • Avoidance: Substance use masks emotional pain temporarily.
    • Recovery: Facing emotions—through therapy, support groups, or self-reflection—leads to healing.
  5. Avoiding Stigma:

    • Stigma around addiction can lead to avoidance of seeking help.
    • Avoidance: Fear of judgment prevents many from seeking treatment.
    • Recovery: Overcoming stigma involves acknowledging vulnerability and seeking support.

Remember, recovery isn’t about avoiding life—it’s about embracing it fully, even with its challenges. 🌟💪
