What I'm saying is not just any philosophy. It's a way founded by the Besh"t. Many problems with addicts is that they don't believe that they can prevail. They don't believe that Hashem wants them to have this test and win over. Otherwise, why is he causing this big mess with our lives?
"...veshochanti besoch bnei Yisrael"
Hashem wanted us to make him a place down here in this world. There's is no ME. It's all about Hashem. How am I going to make Him a place down here in this world, this lowly world.
I don't know. This is what really gave me the push to make it to 24 days. And counting.
