@rabbi_shais_taub break down a misconception about addiction. A lot of people think addiction is only about drugs or alcohol. But for many people…the substance was never the real problem.
It became a way to escape:
loneliness
emotional pain
shame
anxiety
feeling disconnected from themselves
That’s why recovery is deeper than just “stopping.”
It’s about healing the pain underneath the behavior.
Because sometimes addiction isn’t about wanting to get high…
it’s about wanting to feel okay.
