I love these insights about addictions, and could not agree more. I identified the link years ago (with drinking) , I knew it was about killing a part of my brain so I could soar higher. And for that reason I justified and celebrated the drinking. It took me decades to reach the second revelation - it was counterproductive. Better late than never!
Rob this is genius and leads me to fantasize if this column was widely used in recovery programs. I almost died of my addiction to alcohol and being sober now for 46 years w/o AA- thank you will power self respect and spiritual longing)…the inner hunger of my ally found other places like too much sugar that led to a health crisis that led me to finding true sweetness in life. Your words made me cry. Thank you
