Most addictive behaviors stem from a desire to avoid. Sometimes a person wants to avoid confrontation, or pain, or doubt, or just the uncomfortable knowledge that they are less than they hope to be. The addiction's siren call is to let someone else into the driver's seat, that way you can hide from the pain.
There is an antidote to this fear. It is courage. Fear drives us to inaction, courage drives us to action. Courage is the ability to stand up straight, face your fears, and quietly and calmly move in the right direction. I suggest that you could solve a problem in your life today by embracing courage and speaking the truth.
