In light of yet another of our members admitting to an addiction requiring a stay in rehab, for which I commend him, I'm wondering how many others of us have suffered from an addiction.
saintmdterps raises hand...3 years in gamblers anonymous to begin coming to grips with my adrenaline addiction. While some of my friends sought fixes through drugs, alcohol, and steroids, I got mine though dangerous activity including gambling in the stock market. GA helped me realize it was not about money but about the rush, which I could no longer get through motorcycles and fast cars since I was now a parent.
GA led me to my current Buddhist practice, but seldom a day goes by when I don't offer thanks to the stout souls of GA who bared everything in their own struggles.
I wish all who suffer any form of addiction well in their struggles. Peace be with all of you.
