TMP-Ep192 - On the Nature of Addiction

How are you doing?  No, seriously, how have you been doing lately?It seems, to me, that a lot of people are struggling, or unhappy, or just plain having a rough time.I had a client ask me recently, "Is anyone out there REALLY happy these days?"  My initial reaction was, "Well.... yeah."But some days I really wonder.  Last week was a rough one for that - wondering about people's happiness and overall wellbeing.  The Addiction Bug definitely struck hard in my office. And, that really seemed to effect me.  So I talked about it through the podcast.  I think it was a bit of a meandering - but hopefully there is some sense in it.  And, hopefully, you find something meaningful in listening.Footnote: the gentleman who went into treatment in California that I discuss here - I received the most heartwarming voicemail expressing his appreciation for our work together.  It was really beautiful.  I think it restored my faith in what we do, just a little.
