Hey man. Yes, it is very likely that we have brains that are prone to addiction and compulsive behaviour. I know I’ve realised that in therapy, it’s something I must watch out for. We have to find ways to accept and live with it, and try our best to not go awol.
Have you watched the TV series Euphoria? There’s a special episode in between the two seasons that’s called ‘Trouble Don’t Last Always’ and it’s simply a beautiful and long dialogue between the main character, Rue, who suffers from addiction, and her sponsor Ali. It’s a beautiful episode. Tells a lot about addiction. Really recommend this series, it may look like it glorifies drugs at the beginning, but then it really does the contrary!
