Addiction is so tricky. You'll have these kind of thoughts and it will make perfect sense to you, but it's because you're not really looking any deeper than the surface, right? When you're having that thought, it really is like, this is not fair. I don't want to give up my whatever, my thing that I like, which is understandable that you feel that way. But it's also understandable that the people around you want you to keep up with your responsibilities. I mean, that's just how human relationships work in communities, in schools, in jobs, in families. We all have certain responsibilities to the communities and the people and the systems that we belong to.
