Keep this in your mind that every addiction will start to hide pain
if you find that pain inside of you . you will automatically start to work toward healing your pain mine was anger against people who treated me poorly , made me starve for receiving kindness from people around me
and i became a people pleaser. by this i mean i would agree with everything so that people can like me since i didn't find about this sooner this anger turned to desire for revenge my addictions got worst too i started to day dream it got to the point where when i snapped out of it , i would forgot how old i am right now
here is some tip on how to figure out the pain you're trying to hide from everybody. even from yourself talk to yourself like you are 2 different person one is a therapist the other one is you ask yourself why are you like this and with each answer ask yourself another WHY keep going until you reach the answer and since you are talking to yourself there is no shame in admitting it.
