Addiction--What We Can't Give Up and Why

from Unprocessed · host Lia Avellino

This week I talk about how no high is for free, but why so many of us are willing to pay the price of something that harms us with something that takes the edge off for us. James Baldwin said that many of us want to be "relieved of an affliction" but we don't want to give up a crutch. Tune in to learn about how choosing control prevents us from wielding our true power, and what we have in common with trees that can help liberate us from the the things that keep us safe, but prevent us from feeling free.
