Cope

Copium is a special category of Spiralling which is avoidant in its nature. Coping is when you move from one Spiral to another in response to a loss.

Examples can include an incel trying to become a monk so sex is not considered a requirement of them anymore.

Copium can appear to be Counter-Spiralling when it is in reality merely replacing one addiction for another, and as such it is ineffective at that goal.
