pulling a geographic 

A phrase used in the recovery community describing an illogical belief that switching locations will solve all of one’s life problems when in fact the problems are rooted in one’s self and whatever concurrent substance abuse that exists.

My curious and loving father with the beautiful but self-destructive mind was the brilliant master of pulling a geographic, and each time he made a move, he truly innocently began all over again, mostly believing in himself and his powerful intellect but forgetting his addiction and so he mastered living all over the world in the most magical towns and cities but he died alone and most likely, more afraid of life than death and so he took the leap and left his world behind.
