Thank you for exploring yourself and addiction from my prompt and you did it very well. As someone that mostly has his demons in check, much of this resonated with me. If you would be interested in my writings on the topic, here is a poem and then an essay. I'm sure I've written more but these come to mind. https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/the-path-most-traveled-65cf48ee1f17
