A theme I've covered from various angles in my four and a half years on Medium is "addiction." In a couple I try to get beyond judgment and stigma and get down to root causes. To my first essay, https://medium.com/illumination/drilling-down-to-the-root-cause-of-addiction-7c57c5a3fd6c, a reader responded with this video about Portugal's approach. https://youtu.be/_Y51YETlzgU?si=PlfHavan4JddR3fk

It's a very moving video

Unfortunately, I think I've seen that the successes haven't held.
