Reflections on Addiction and Change
The speaker reflects on how having kids changed their behavior and made them prioritize something more important than their alcohol consumption. Initially, they thought addiction was a brain disease, but now they are unsure. They believe their own addiction stemmed from an unsatisfying job, lack of money, and an uneventful lifestyle. Drinking offered excitement and unpredictability, making every night more interesting than sitting at home watching Netflix. Going to a bar and drinking was like stepping into the unknown.
