We're all addicts
from The Spiritual Knockout Hosted by Katherine Macri
Addiction is a scary word. It evokes extreme thoughts of hard drugs and alcohol - which are real addictions that real, and high functioning people can have without you even knowing - but it goes beyond those forms. People can be addicted to sex, social media, food, shopping, even working out. There are many forms of addiction, but what holds true for them all is that they are attached to some strong emotion. Many addicts I've worked with will describe a "numb" sensation when they satisfy their addiction. I've been there too, and I know how it feels. But we need to be aware of the fact that these vices are crutches we use to get through the hard times. Things we use to pacify ourselves throughout the day instead of dealing with things head-on. These disempowering habits of behaviour don't solve our problems, they make them tolerable for just a bit longer. This episode I'm here to tell you you're not alone. We're all addicts of something. It's time to break the habit.
