All addicts are slaves. And all humans are on the addiction spectrum, some much more than others. Love them!

[Surabhi Rani]

I am learning new terms such as 'toxic enabling' and 'codependency.' I agree that the reason for our comfort addiction is unhappiness. You have very well explained the darker and negative nature and personalities of human beings using these terms. We need to love such addicts. This is the way we deal with our lives and situations.

[Onuoha Joy]

Being an addiction is worst than being a slave. Slaves have no option but you had an option but choose to be an addict even after having a choice not to be one

[Chibyke Icarus]

I agree that all addicts are enslaved by their addictions. One crucial step in overcoming addiction is acknowledging that you are addicted. Addiction often masquerades as love or the pursuit of comfort, but it remains a form of enslavement.
