Addiction is rarely just about alcohol, food, or binge-watching.
Itâs often about pain that was never processed.
Behind many addictions are unresolved childhood wounds, broken relationships, emotional trauma, or loneliness. What looks like âlack of willpowerâ from the outside is often someone trying to cope the only way they know how.
Next time you see someone overeating, drinking excessively, or escaping into distractions, donât judge them so quickly. Sit with them. Talk to them. Ask what theyâre going through.
Addictions are coping mechanisms that slowly turn into dependencies.
Understanding heals. Judgment pushes people deeper.
