Yikes.

Sure.

So here's what, what you said is really powerful and I want you to hold it tightly.

Okay.

The stories that you're making up are yours, right?

Your body's alarm system to anybody addicted to any substance is the alarm going off in your chest.

And I want you to own that discomfort and own that your body's trying to take care of you and not create a story about morality or character issues and dump that on somebody.

Because the one thing I've learned about addiction is, yes, there's some insanely addictive chemicals.

few more addictive than nicotine.

It's insane, right?

I know, personally, I know, right?

And I'll tell you my story with them, but that's not as important as what I'm going to talk about here, is the addiction isn't the main problem.

The main problem is the thing underneath it.

What is that addiction working to support?

Right?

Right.

So the hardest question your body has probably been asking since you were a little girl is, what is so bad about me?

What's so bad about us?

What's so bad about this home that you have to do that?

That is heartbreaking.
