     Often  we  are prone to attach ourselves  to  things,                                                            
persons,   relationships,   ideas,  ideals and  much  more                                         
suggested in the title above --- even when the attachments                                                                     
are disintegrative of ourselves and others.                                                            
                                                                                                                               
     Often our attachments are dishonest; i.e., suggesting                                                            
that  what we have attached ourselves to can do more to or                                                            
for  us  ---   than they can honestly do  to  or  for  us.                                                                  
Alcohol,  drugs,   work,  sex,  knowledge,   technologies,
chemical   solutions   ---   all  can   be   appropriately                                                                     
incorporated into healthy living;  but often  they are the  
focus of disintegrative attachments.   In the latter cases                                                                   
we need to recognize, acknowledge,  and understand how our                 
attachments are disintegrative --- and learn how to let go                                               
with   integrity  of  our  delusions,    illusions,    and                                                            
collusions.
