I believe in the concept of a “calculated indulgence” A seriously examined, deliberate shot of self-destructive action that serves to show how empty and unfulfilling that behavior is. This is different than a mindless indulgence in that the whole time it is happening, you are reprogramming yourself—fully realizing that this addictive joy is only temporary, and while you can enjoy it from time to time, it need not be your constant captor; it can be relegated to being the occasional wild time with a friend.
