For years, I blamed my addiction on childhood wounds, my father's abandonment, and the loss of my sister. However, a pivotal moment came when I realized I was only numbing that pain with drug use. I wasn't addicted because of pain, but an addict with pain. I stopped looking for someone to blame and began to understand the illness I was born with.

In this episode of Addictions Revealed, I explain through my story why we are born addicts, what contexts foster the illness, and how society influences it.

If you want to know the true origins of addiction and how it develops, this episode is for you!
