At first, it feels harmless. In fact, it often feels good. It helps us forget stress, loneliness, boredom, or pain. We tell ourselves it is only temporary. But slowly, quietly, without warning, the habit grows roots. What was once a choice becomes a routine. What was once a routine becomes a need. And what was once a need becomes an addiction. This book is not about judging people. It is about understanding ourselves. Because the truth is that almost every adult and young person today is battling one little addiction or another. This book will explore those habits—the ones people laugh about, hide, deny, or struggle to quit. More importantly, it will help us understand why we fall into them and how we can take control of our lives again.
