Amber Hollingsworth compares addiction to an abusive relationship that felt good at first but turned toxic. She urges you to stop minimizing it or fantasizing about going back, and to honestly face what it's done to you and the people around you.
Because essentially an addiction really is a bad, abusive relationship. Maybe it started out good. Maybe it was all wonderful in the beginning, but somewhere in there, it got toxic. Stop fantasizing about it. Stop minimizing the problems. You got to get really honest with what is this addiction doing to you? What is it doing for you, and what is it doing to the people around you? When you really look closely at what's happening, you'll see that there is no positive.
