Let me tell you.. Absolutely all addictions are extremely difficult to get under control.. The one concept which I feel is immensely helpful are support groups focused on the many addictions facing our society today..Identifying with others so you don’t feel alone is huge... I can’t tell you how AA
has helped me and yes I know that the recidivism problem is huge..but I’ve been dealing with my disease for close to 30 yrs and I can safely say it works for me and for millions of others.
