Perhaps that's the point of the exercise.

And the even more crushing one that, possibly, nothing will.

Not so sure about that. Tova nailed it here:
--- Quote from: Tova on 05 Jul 2016, 16:55 ---This is about more than beating her alcohol addiction. It is about facing demons she has been running away from for a very long time.
--- End quote ---
If she manages to do that (which the current catharsis suggests she is) I think she will eventually feel better. Not blissfully happy (though there might be moments of that too) but at least some freedom from having her entire emotional life tainted by what happened years ago.

Assuming you're referring to punching bags? Not really. If you have skin that's not conditioned to punching, you might get some skin off your knuckles and such, but it's an inconvenience at worst, by no means a serious injury. You might get sore fingers if you overdo it, which will be unpleasant for a day or so, but the whole point of a punching bag is to provide a safe surface for hitting.
People train bare-handed by punching things less pleasant than a punching bag (like makiwaras: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makiwara ), and it's still for the most part safe for the hand.

Bubbles will need to order more Punching Bags
--- End quote ---
This confirms that she replaced the last ones she destroyed. I had a feeling this might happen since it was the way Bubbles vented during one of her breakdowns and it's really a better way of getting rid of self destructive tendencies than getting drunk.

Punching dad.
