Addiction is a mind, body, conscious problem – addiction is powerful because it convinces us that we are bad, unloveable, unaccepted where we feel we don’t belong. We give up on our creative and imaginative strengths.  It is not just an individual problem, it is a generational problem, it is a trauma problem, it is a poverty problem, it is a systemic problem, it is a spiritual problem, it is a  pain body problem. It’s a communication problem.  And so needs to be treated accordingly and with consideration to all these aspects with patience and empathy
