Life is full of events that lead to personal distress. And stress can build upon stress which can lead to marriage problems. If one of you drinks to reduce stress, in time the drinking itself causes stress and becomes a major roadblock to solutions.
Quite naturally, you look around to see what’s causing your distress and the only person there is your spouse, so you instinctively blame him or her for upsetting you.

September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. As I pause and look back over the alcohol-related deaths and injuries of people I’ve known, I feel sad that it is still happening. A driver’s speed with alcohol took our mother away from my three younger brothers and me when I was 16. She left the house. Within ten minutes there was a knock at the door. An uncle uttered the simple words, “Doreen is gone.” Video: “Everbody Hurts.”

Food cravings lead to consumption. Consumption leads to more food cravings. ‘Tis the season for eating, drinking and otherwise celebrating with others…a great time of enjoyment, love, generosity and generally good feelings…good feelings accompany eating. And…we eat for those good feelings associated with foods we ate in the past…And we end up eating too much.

Pop psychology has worked its way into our culture. If a man makes a mistake, its OK to blame it on something he ate or an addiction he has. Has pop psychology made it so people no longer have to accept responsibility for their own actions? Is pop psychology making us a society of victims?

In the midst of a possible recession in the US and around the world, the fear out there is palpable. The gloom is affecting everyone, and stress makes you stupid. What can be done? Why not opt out of the recession, and refuse to participate in the negative psychology of it.
