Grotesque

Freedom begins within. Addictions are the antithesis of freedom. By definition, addictions are anything that have control of our lives and are progressive and fatal. Being addicted to doing too much is no different from being addicted to alcohol or drugs. We are hooked, and we can die from these workaholic behaviors. Freedom from addictions is an important first step toward personal freedom. In Twelve-Step circles we often hear that "These addictive diseases are the only fatal diseases for which recovery is guaranteed if we do our work." When we are addicted, we have lost our minds and hearts to the disease. As we start to work a recovery program, we begin to have a new appreciation of the word freedom. And addicted to music is a different story.
