Crack Cocaine Addiction sucks ass

It takes one to know one.

All addictions are ultimately Victim Behavior- they're also a symptom of codependency.

Recovery (serenity) requires a quantum shift, detachment defined is nothing (because Ego is digitalized), and detachment 'experienced' is serenity.

Definition of Addiction

The best definition I found is the one I heard Dr Drew use:

Definition of Addiction:
When something (anything) has negative consequences, you're aware of the connection, and you keep doing it.
(paraphrased by me)

Meta Shame:

Ignorance is bliss? Meta Shame is when you feel bad ABOUT feeling bad.
for example: you just made a connection, you've become aware that your current behavior stems from, was originally, sourced by an experience in your youth, your formative years...
now you know this, but you keep on doing what ever... and you know it's not "from" you, it's "from" your broken childhood... yet you keep doing it

before you knew about the family systems "connection", you merely felt bad, now you feel bad ABOUT feeling bad.
