Addiction is a frightening and lonely maze, one that is very difficult to find your own way through.. Whatever your addiction, there can be a persistent, nagging feeling that if you just try a little harder next time, you will be able to control yourself better. It’s easy to get locked in that struggle for years, even decades, while you chase that elusive feeling that you can learn to control this the way that you want to and need to so that it doesn’t harm your life so badly. It’s possible that you have never fully revealed this struggle to anyone because of the unfortunate stigma that addiction still carries in society. I know what a frightening and lonely place this can be.
