This is so insightful Justice. Thank you for sharing this. It has been helpful to think about places in my own life where I trend toward operating from an addictive place. Some of it is pretty taboo! I also especially love what you said about addiction essentially being a life force that covers up a human need. Hope all is well ❤️ Blaney

I chose my addiction in the wee hours this very morning. I fell asleep early and woke at 1 AM. I thought about meditating. Then I thought about the quirky activities of cats captured by YouTube shorts. In addition to kitties there were dogs, bitch dogs with puppies, a hot weight-lifter with a pet duck, einsteinian Elephants, and lots of stories about the gods, goddesses and demons of Bharatiya (aka India). Also a sprinkling of Joe Rogan and one warning from the ever-affable Tucker Carlson, Fox News's most famous cancelee.

When the time rolled around to 5:50, I shut it 📴 climbed into bed and went straight to sleep.

After the Sun rose high enough to wake me up, I decided the results were fairly close to meditation. I've had a productive day full of gratitude. My little technofaery only rules my life when I allow it.

Great topic Justice and one that I have been writing about openly for a few months.
