We know addiction. we know what suffering feels like. And if we know the truth about addiction, then we know that the fact that you use drugs and alcohol is not really the problem, it is an attempt at a solution to a problem. We know you are not broken, your brain is just malfunctioning, and you mind is just clouded by a false reality. You are capable of anything you put your mind to:
That you’re bigger than addiction
That you’re stronger than setback
That you’re recovering
One of the biggest misconceptions about addiction is that people that suffer from addiction are less than other people, or are less capable than other people, or are somehow inadequate or inferior
