Addiction.

I guess in a way, all sorts of addictions are ideally the same. Whatever it is that you're addicted to, you get entirely absorbed in it and it takes over your life. It's overwhelming, stressful and depressing. Often times, you beat yourself up for mistakes that you make involving the addiction when you're trying to quit. And it seems like every time you try and remove that particular thing from your life, it becomes the only lingering thought on your mind.
But the thing about addictions is, they can be conquered. And if the addiction itself might seem completely in control, just know that you're not alone. And sometimes, said addiction might help you understand a person a little more. Might even help you support something that you don't entirely understand. Because when someone is addicted to something, and they're trying to fix what they've become accostomed to, what they need more than anything is not to be told what they're doing is wrong.
They need support.
No matter how many times they may succeed or fail at fixing the problem.
