Shedding Courageous Light [Letters to My Addicted Self / Issue 930]

I had to point out how courageous and brave Bracha Toiv is. It is not an easy task to write about your addiction. You open yourself up to people’s different views and opinions. As someone who recently shared her own experience with addiction in Family First (“A Bitter Pill”), I know firsthand how brave that is.

Bracha tells and shares her addiction experience from a completely different point of view, and I applaud her for it. May the Eibeshter continue to give her strength to continue living with menuchas hanefesh and simchas hachayim in a sober way, physically and emotionally.

I also wanted to convey huge respect to Mishpacha magazine for refusing to be quieted down from this controversial topic. There are many people in our communities who will continue to stick their heads in the ground and refuse to see what could be happening in their own four walls, while berating the magazine for their “improper” content. Kol hakavod to Mishpacha for shedding light on addiction, and also showing that there is help and recovery.

May you continue to be a beacon of light to all those around you.
