Mindfulness is BETTER than drugging yourself because it enables you to not only hold the unskillful emotional state in mindful awareness and disperse it at will, but it also enables you to discover the unskillful patterns of thinking that give rise to this state to begin with.
With mindfulness you can completely eradicate these unskillful patterns of thinking from your life forever and replace them with more empowering patterns.
There is no better investment that you can make than to invest a little bit of your time learning how to be mindful. The rewards are extraordinary.
Here in the bay area a great class is offered at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood city:

- alexryan 11y agoAs I read this comment I thought of a mind which habitually creates a reality of powerless victimhood so pervasive that it perceives bad intentions on the part of everyone and feels compelled to lash out at perceived threats that don't even exist. This is the product of an unskillful pattern of thinking. You can either go deeper into hell until you pop yourself or correct it.
