Addiction is all about trying to soothe pain. If you have unresolved emotional pain you might behave in unhealthy ways.

People do well if they can. Not, they would if they wanted to.

Ohhhhh healing. We are all trying our best, but man, without learning the skills we need to become better, life can stay quite challenging within our relationships. We all have healing to do. It takes willingness, honesty, vulnerability, practice and patience (with ourselves and others).
