“Addiction is G-d-given, just like any physical or mental illness. It is what we do with it and how we use it to grow that will impact our journeys”
I want to thank you and thank you once again, all of you courageous writers out there, who have lately been bringing up this loaded topic of addiction. And thank you to Mishpacha and Family First for bravely providing this forum.
To be honest, I’ve been feeling kind of exposed with each article that I’ve been reading. Like, are you all out to pull off my mask? To blow the cover that I’ve put up so carefully?
Each read has been bringing up different emotions and self-awareness. Compassion for the protagonist, gratitude for my growth through my recovery journey, empathy for the many people out there who are suffering, insight into the world of uninformed friends and family members, etc.
I won’t deny that pain, hopelessness, and despair have made their appearance too (some features have triggered that more than others).
