relief x release

"We all suffer from addiction to one extent or another. In this sense, addiction includes but is not limited to the idea of drugs. There are many forms of relief, most of which take the form of distractions. Any tactic that keeps you from being present and facing what is real and frightening will offer some form of relief. You can settle for relief or you can go for release. Release is a true completion of the process, freeing you from it."
