I think understanding addiction is totally fine, it can give one clarity and certain tools for emotional development. But if one is truly an addict then it's not gonna keep them sober.
If you're an LGBTQ or LGBTQ-questioning person and looking for someone who can understand you, feel free to reach out. I promise no judgement and to try and listen the best I can.

Usually younger people like to think about this question and talk about it a lot. Older, married folks who have something to lose, often lose the patience to mess around with philosophical matters - they need help. Just an observation. I have no clue what age you are, or whether or not your problem threatens your life, lifestyle, or anything you've got at all.

But setting all that aside, have you discovered that figuring out things like where the addiction comes from, has helped you in the past? If so, can you bring an example of that, please. I think that should come before philosophical discussion ensues, and before anybody tries to answer your question. Just a suggestion

There are definite genetic, environmental, and experience factors that increase the probability of addiction. But I need to work my program to stay sober. I also go to therapy for emotional development. My emotional maturity stopped when I started acting out, which was very young.

Which also explains why some people get stuck on one of the first few steps for many months or more. There are people that don't wanna work the program and that's fine, but if you wanna work it, don't beat it to death.

Yes, it is helpful for a person to be aware of why/in what situations they turn to their addicted behaviors.

Thank you!  I'm still here and still trucking B"H.  I'm just busy, which itself is a good thing for my sobriety.  I do plan to spend some time here when I get a chance.  Probably, not much until at least after Pesach.
