Addiction
Most would rather have another cater / adapt to their dysfunction(s) / delusion(s) than to do the work necessary to correct it themselves.
And most would rather do that for another to avoid their own discomfort in taking that same responsibility for themselves.

A disorder is just the dirty version of a clean (and rejected) desire.

The more you focus on symptoms,
the further you stray from truth.

The ‘thing’ about a diagnosis / label…
is that it’s a thing.
Which only exists as a concept / ‘reality’ on the level of form.
But beneath and beyond that is the actual truth.
Free of all concepts / ideas / illusions of constraint.
And free of the need to attach meaning to things.

When you look to another to give you something you’re refusing to give yourself,
what they offer will never hit the spot.
It’s yours to cultivate.
Not theirs to give.
And in your frustration of not getting what you think you want and need from someone else,
you point to them for not rising up adequately.
But it was you who did not rise up.
Hence your search for someone who would.

People pleasers aren’t any less controlling or manipulative than those who ‘take advantage’ of them.
Both are positioning themselves, and using others, to get their artificial needs met.

One must abandon themselves in the attempt to ‘fill’ through external means what can only be satisfied internally through learning how to not self-abandon in the first place.

Whatever the addiction / compulsion is makes no difference.
It’s only ever about one’s relationship to their own power.
Which is perfectly demonstrated / out-pictured through one’s relationship to,
and experience of,
said substance / behaviour / person.

Your willingness and capacity to suffer with and for another, is not love (for yourself or the other).

I chose him precisely because of the density.
The grit.
For the perceived dysfunction that would highlight my own so I could erect what had long been limp.
I used him to purify myself.
To be stripped even further.
To stay until nothing was left.
From the outside, it looked insane.
And to my human, it felt like hell.
But obliteration was what I was after.
Why else would I have danced right there.

The addiction itself is not the issue.
What’s sourcing the pattern of addiction, IS.
And even that is not an issue.

When you’ve deviated from the truth and natural movements of your being (a complete betrayal to your system), the only way to live with that internal split is to distract yourself with self-created 'issues’ that would not exist (and ultimately don't) had you remained in your power (your natural state) in the first place.

You only need to 'cope' when you choose to leave home.

Addiction is an energetic pattern.
It’s not about the form / substance / person.
They’re interchangeable.
And until you succeed in shifting what actually needs shifting (which goes beyond just stopping something in the physical), you’ll naturally and inevitably replace one addiction with another.
You’ll unknowingly redirect that same addictive and still very active pattern to another spot (and likely return to the original spot), unaware that the pattern itself bleeds across the board until it actually gets cleaned up.
Even if you do manage to stop A, B or C in the physical, either temporarily or for good (which you take as proof that something has changed - that you have changed),
unless you also make the energetic shift required to dissolve the pattern altogether, nothing has truly changed at all.
You just ‘quit’ that one thing, only to continue the same pattern with this or the next thing, thereby proving that the specific addiction was never the actual issue.
What’s sourcing the pattern of addiction, IS.
And until that’s ‘resolved’ (seen through and turned back into nothing), it’s gonna keep shape shifting and fucking you up.

Regardless of the ‘issue’, it’s about your relationship to power.
