Addiction

We are a culture of addiction, addiction to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, eating and sex. Addiction has become a social disease and an economic burden. But addiction also comes out of the cultural need for pleasure as well as the need to escape into pleasure.


When there is no deep pleasure in life, work or human relationships, escape into addiction becomes a sad option--for pleasure or even adventure. It becomes easy for our society to allow lives and potential to be wasted, especially among the young.
