@conscientiousNest9152 Hi and thank you for opening up. The main reason why people get addicted is the need to fill emotional gaps. Addictive behaviors and/or substances help people tempirarily forget about their problems and practically stop thinking about painful things. The truth is that this seems helpful sometimes but sooner or later we all have to face the real causes of our emotional pain or trauma. We are all here for you to provide you with a listening ear but also don't hesitate to open up to your closest ones. Every wound is different and it can be hard to deal with it but all wounds may be healed. We are here for you and thank you for sharing!

@conscientiousNest9152 These are some great news then as this is the first step to overcoming addiction. In this case it would be a great idea to chat with a listener and find the reasons why you may be falling onto this addiction and even discover other coping mechanisms. We are here for you!

Because you feel empty inside and want to fill it up with something. and by not being sober, you can avoid the pain inside you…But trust me, it is not a good solution. I have been there, I smoked and consumed alcohol so my brain can stop amd I used to like thay feeling when I did not feel pain at all by not being sober. Once I become sober, all the pains came back and I had to face it..If you need someone to talk to, just to share and say all the things stuck in your mind, You can send me message anytime. I hope you can overcome it soon.
