Addiction is one of the most cunning, baffling, and powerful diseases known to man. Its nature is deceptive, and its goal is destructive. It doesn’t knock on your door politely or announce its arrival with fair warning.
Instead, it slithers into your life disguised as a solution—a way to cope, to escape, to feel alive, or to numb the pain. For many, it begins as a relief and ends as a prison.
And perhaps most dangerously, addiction convinces you that it’s the answer to all your problems while slowly becoming the very thing that destroys everything you hold dear.
