Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Amber Hollingsworth offering advice on overcoming addiction. The speaker argues that addiction survives on secrecy, darkness, resentment, self-pity, and having a 'villain'; recovery involves deliberately withholding those conditions (especially refusing the villain role).
And when it comes to addiction, we gotta like, starve out the addiction. And what does the addiction need to live? The addiction needs secrecy, it needs darkness, it needs resentment, it needs self pity, and above all else, it needs a villain. And what you're going to do to get rid of this addiction is you are going to not provide it any of those things if you can help it. And most you're not going to provide it the villain role. And it's going to be really hard because the addiction is going to do everything possible to put you in that villain role, but you're.
