Addiction as Isolation

• Addiction is fundamentally a disease of isolation, and historically, successful interventions involve connection.
• Men are more prone to addiction due to societal expectations of independence and problem-solving.
• Society doesn't expect women to solve problems on their own; the same consideration should be extended to men.
• Addiction is a problem that cannot be solved alone; it requires human connection and support.
• Addressing men's isolation is crucial, as it's a problem that necessitates external help and connection.
