“No one becomes an addict by choice.”
“No one becomes an addict by choice,” Shannan affirms. “Addiction is a symptom of trauma. You might carry a genetic predisposition to become an alcoholic or get hooked on drugs, but you won’t become an addict unless something traumatic happens to you, and you don’t deal with the feelings that you suppress. From my point of view, the substance is what is used in the process of suppression, while the cause of addiction is the trauma.”
“Trading in your addiction for a happy, healthy, wondrous life comes with sacrifices,” Shannan Kym stresses, “It is a very tough road to recovery, and there are many ups and downs. You will need to change your entire life, and that means everything.” Yet in the end, she assures: “You will look in the mirror and no longer see a victim. You will see a strong, beautiful, confident person.”
