Addiction, new to me in 2024-25

I didn’t know until a man close to me was addicted to 40-50 ambien per day, dosing several times during the day just to lower anxiety. Unbelievable insantiy. Today this man said to me that he would not have gone to rehab without me. I can’t really describe the level of stress this caused me then, or that I encountered from taking this on at the time. And I did not know how much I had to learn. Afterwards I realized I still had more to learn so I looked for sources and came upon Gabor. This book helped me understand the fundamental causes, the mind of, severe addiction. I say severe because we’re all addicts, addicted to life, we can’t get away from it. So this book also helped me understand how and where I too am an addict, and what I do with stress, and give me some courage not to hide it in the ways I have in the past. I added a quote to my site here on the goals page and some sections there as well. “Better you should look ‘bad’ in the eyes of others than to sink further in your own estimation of yourself.” Thank you Gabor. I’ll be reviewing the four steps (plus one) again soon as well. Though a small part of the book, this will give some actionable intelligence to apply.
