Futile Gestures Recovery teaches us to avoid futile reactions. During a driving lesson, the car in front abruptly stopped, and I screamed. The instructor said, Apply the brakes. As a learning driver, I had not yet adopted the correct response of braking. This is similar to taking a chemical in response to stress. It is not only futile but, if we allow it to substitute for the correct reaction, will bring negative consequences. Recovering people learn to avoid useless reflex responses, and to do what it takes to get the job done. As we dispense with futile attempts to solve problems by chemicals, we also discard other ineffective responses.
