A short spoken monologue arguing that addiction extends beyond substances: people are often addicted to their own beliefs, thoughts, and habitual responses, and these mental patterns keep them stuck in harmful experiences. The speaker reframes addiction as a cognitive/attitudinal problem rather than only a substance-use problem.
You are addicted to all of these things you hate, and that's your problem. You're addicted to everything that's hurting you, and that's your problem. And this doesn't have to be something obvious. We think of addiction like substances and things like that. No. The most painful thing that we're most addicted to is our own beliefs and our own thoughts, our own responses to the stuff around us. That's what keeps us stuck in the experience of these things.
