one day we’re going to go beyond the model of addiction which unfortunately has been poisoned by both religion and the entire addiction-industrial complex (what i call Forever Recovery)
it’s going to end up being far more complex and rooted in material conditions then most mainstream realize
This so much. Addiction needs to be studied and addressed from a non-religious standpoint. I’m an alcoholic and have some issues around porn addiction and it’s real but not in the sense of it being a moral failing but due to my own internalized sexism I’ve encountered over the years and in my formative ones and also like you said material conditions. Mental health plays a huge role too.
