Amber Hollingsworth reframes addiction as a personal dragon to slay rather than a defining trait. She argues that overcoming it builds strength and courage, positioning you as the hero of your own story instead of a victim of circumstance.
Conquering this problem is your journey in life. Everyone has a dragon to slay in life. It's what makes us the hero of our story. It's what makes us stronger, better people. Sometimes we face it early in life. Sometimes we face it late in life. Most of us face a few of these dragons. But right now, if you're struggling with an addiction, this is your dragon to slay. And it Is in some ways a gift that's been given to you to help you develop the strengths, the muscles, the courage that you need to face the next chapter of your life. So once you start to look at the situation that way, I feel like you're going to feel differently about it. You're going to understand that not only can you beat this problem, but you're going to be better for it.
