What can we learn from the struggles in the episode #138: Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan - Cheaper Than Therapy and the clip Questioning Addiction Narratives?
I struggle with addiction, where I start drinking or using drugs, and it gets bad quickly, resulting in 3-day hangovers and week-long withdrawals. I’ll get sober, but a week or two later, I relapse. Sometimes it's worse than others, depending on how fast I decide I need to stop. I’m severely depressed and tired of living like this. I get no joy or tranquility, which makes me give in to drinking and drugs again. I desperately want to be sober and find peace.
