That is one of the reasons that we do all 10 Stages.

The more you learn about addicts and addiction, the more you learn about other people's minds. You begin to appreciate other worlds, other people's life situations. You are learning to extend your vision beyond what is just there in your immediate situation, on the spot, so your mind is opened that much more. And that reflects on your work with others. It makes you more skilful in deeds and also gives you more of a sense of warmth and compassion, so you become more accommodating of others, that is one of the reasons that we do all 10 Stages.
