Mary says:
"You keep on going back to
compulsions because you don’t know how to heal your
compulsions, nor do you know how to get to what you were
truly hungry for—a deep and satisfying connection with
yourself and with life. No wonder you have had
moments—and maybe even days and months—when you were
depressed and overwhelmed, sure that your compulsions
are proof that you are not okay and that you will never
be free of them. Many of us have gone on this way for
years, lost in our head, while our feelings tried to
grab our attention and our compulsions tried to keep
them at bay."
