Addiction
is a tool to escape not to be ourselves for a few hours. There is an addiction to drugs, consumerism, the internet, shopping, or food. We all have this emptiness, and so many of us are trying to fill that emptiness from outside.
Inner emptiness comes from a lack of connection with your spiritual source of love. Luck of connections come from abuse, neglect, abundant, and emotionally hurt. These stressful or traumatic experiences store subconsciously in the brain.
