Dallas Bragg traces his crystal-meth addiction to childhood, when his father suggested he might have been switched at birth. That moment created a belief he was "not enough" that drove decades of use. He says addiction stems from unresolved trauma, not genetics.
A lot of people ask me, when did your crystal meth addiction begin? And I tell them it began where everyone else's began, between the ages of 0 and 7. My dad looked at me one time and said, I don't think you're my real son. You couldn't be. I think you were switched at birth. That's where the shame, the self-loathing, and the abandonment began. That's what led me to a crystal meth addiction. I made a roadmap for this. It's in my free course, Reframing Relapse. Go get it. It's in my profile. My addiction didn't come from some gene or genetic predisposition. It came from me never being able to process the trauma of rejection, never being able to get over the belief that I am not enough. Figure out your version of I am not enough, reverse engineer, and you will get to the bottom of your addictive behaviors.
