The point is that it's hard (for some people, including me) to get out of your comfort zone, which is (in this case) trying to forget all that you can't do or have trouble achieving so you "turn the blind eye" to what you really want or what you can't do. Which can be achieved doing not thinking about the relevent issues your facing by doing drugs and/or doing something to distract yourself, so you don't have to face or think about that you not happy about your situation or that it's not sustainable. So being thoughtless and blind is the same as you first suggested, but i think it works fine to have two metaphors with same meaning
