I've begun to think it may be more than safe, it may be "addictive". By that I mean the constant catharsis....

I can speak from observing my Mother anyway, she's had constant addiction problems with actual drugs and co-dependant relationships with men, it doesn't seem she's ever really had a good role model to learn anything from and she's gullible. She believes just about anything you tell her, so it's easy to see why she's a fanatical christian.

I see this pattern though of "sinning" and "redemption". It seems it's become almost addictive for her - she's got the drugs and cigarettes (items of "sin") that she's actually physically addicted to and she feels so much guilt for not being able to quit, then on Sunday she's in church, hands waving in the air, tears running down her face, enraptured by "God's Love", and probably takes a hit as soon as she gets home.
