      %PLEASURE SERENITY PEACE TRANQUILITY CONFLICT 880607

     Conflict resolution is integration.   The process  of
promoting  personal and communal integrity is the  process
of resolving conflicts which undermine serenity, peace and
tranquility.    Genuine  pleasure  is found  in  serenity,
peace, tranquility, conflict resolution, integration; they
are   all   inter-related   in   intimate   ways   through
intimate relationships.

     Addicts  who  seek to be in control cannot afford  to
permit   others   to  enjoy  the  pleasures  of   conflict
resolution,  integration, serenity,  peace or tranquility;
for  in  such may be found the way to avoid  the  addicts'
manipulative    control,    and  the  light  to  see   the
addicts' collusions against true integrity.   Thus addicts
are  busy  creating confusions,    conflicts,    tensions,
disturbances,  anxieties,   strains,  etc.    Addicts seek
ways  to minimize true pleasure,  peace,  tranquility  and
insights  which  would  threaten  their  power  to  be  in
compulsive control  through dishonesty.

     Addicts focus upon various means to accomplish  their
confused goals: alcohol, drugs, legalisms, weapons, bombs,
guns, rules, expectations, demands, threats,  punishments,
rewards,   promises,   etc.    Addicts  are  involved   in
alienative  relationships  which  promote  disintegrations
which   undermine   conflict   resolution,    integration,
serenity,  peace, tranquility,  and pleasure.   Since such
realities  are  all  of a kind  which  threaten  addictive
control;   none  of  their  kind  can  be  tolerated  with
equanimity  by addicts.   Addicts feel a need to  threaten
any  process which threatens to lead to serenity,   peace,
tranquility, pleasure, integrity, etc.  within which there
might   be   revelations  to codependents  about  how   to
escape   addicts'    confused  means   of   control   over
codependents.
