its the distraction..the rush of the headlong risk..which is something your body gets physically addicted to..whether jumping of cliff with a parachute or trying to push the brain to some out there intellectual nugget...
From what I know the more you push your andrenalin system the bigger the risk you need the next time...also I read that the more time you spend stopping these behaviours the more toned down your glands get..so really this school of thought says the only answer is to fight these urges, using CBT type self assesment as you find the impulse hitting you..
its my opinion you can try and get some fruitfull pursuit where you can run rampant on andrenaline all the time..I did hockey..which is great fun..eveything is on the edge all the time..thats why you can only shift for about a minute..one good game a week keeps you straight and keeps the craziness in that place..but I wrecked my body and i'm only 35...
I'm not sure If I go for the relaxation program..its a real strain...but if you choose the crazy route just make sure its a sustainible one for your mind and body..
