Pain & Addiction

In my struggle to leave behind crack cocaine I've returned to PAIN tolerance and body modification as a way to release brain chemicals which bring on natural highs. It's not drugs that make you high, but your brain that makes you high.
Yesterday I resisted the urge for crack although I did drink four 10% beers over the day.
When I was finished drinking two of those beers I put two brands on myu arm using a cigarette lighter. The endorphin rush felt good but I wonder if I wasn't cheating by being a bit tipsy when I branded myself.
I should have the courage to do it without being on any chemicals!
