Addiction Random Thoughts

Is it bad that I feel better about my addiction when I see people addicted to the same thing but much worse off?

I get it… but the people worse off could be a glimpse of future you if you continue down the path you’re on.

That’s how I looked at it anyway.

Take care ❤

I can see that giving a sense of personal control during the storm. I had to join the military to get out of my mess.
meh. not very bad. not great. totally understandable to want to see people with similar issues.

That is understandable.
I guess that partly depends on why you feel better? So why do you feel better?

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP cause I realize there are people that have it much worse than me
@iamisa ok, and what do you do with that feeling? Do you feel empowered to improve your situation or do you feel complacent?

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP maybe a bit of both

Maybe? It depends on what you're addicted to.

@DunningKruger really? why would it depend?

@iamisa Is what you're addicted to something harmful, like heroin? Is it something more innocuous, like gummy bears or scrolling on your cellphone?

If it's a bad addiction, then yeah, anything that makes you feel better about having it is by definition bad. If it's an innocuous addiction then it doesn't really matter that much.

Depends on the addiction

What are you addicted to?
Every addiction is bad
