Having addicted mind is like being trapped in self created illusions

I’m only in my middle 30s, but I have several friends at similar age who passed away because overdose or drinking. Why this is happening to us, aren’t we thinking creatures?

Trapped mind: quite different addictions

IF YOU WOULD ASK ME WHAT THREATENS OUR DEVELOPMENT THE MOST, I WOULD TELL YOU WITHOUT BLINKING. THE TRAPS OUR MIND CAN GET CAUGHT IN. AND THERE ARE MANY OF THEM SET UP : ANXIETY, DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS, DEPRESSION, OCD, PHOBIAS, PSYCHOSIS, MANIA AND THE BIG ONE – ADDICTIONS – DOUBLY DEVIOUS, BECAUSE THEY CAN APPLY NOT ONLY TO SUBSTANCES.
