How did you feel empowered by it and how did it help in your healing?
For me, the label weakened me and I became empowered when I stopped putting a name to being human.
Yes, addiction can be biological, but addiction is really a side effect of something biologically misaligned.
Whether someone is a food, sex, drug of booze addict, these are all addictions which are side effects from something deeper.
I don't differentiate addictions.
