Amber Hollingsworth calls out the lies people tell themselves about addiction, like that it makes life fun. She reframes it as absolute misery and being held hostage, not a choice.
This rationalization is just a bunch of bs. Let me know if you've heard this or said this before. Yeah, sure. Drinking, smoking, partying. That might make my life be a little bit shorter, but at least it'll be a better, more fun life. If you have an addiction, that is absolutely the furthest thing from the truth. Addiction is absolute misery. There's nothing fun about it, and there's definitely nothing better about it. Being addicted means being held hostage. It means being controlled, made to do things that you don't want to do, and made to be a person that you don't want to be. If you're on board with that, put BS in the comments.
