Addiction is huge problem in the Frum community, be it drugs; alcohol; gambling; pornography. Unfortuntaley most of the time we turn a blind eye to it because we have the attitude of “not by us”. Addictions are a sickness and need to be dealt with as such. Instead of thinking it can’t be, the problem needs to be tackled head first. If you think that you or a loved one has any sort of problem it must be confronted and dealt with.
Unfortunately I have some first hand expeirnece. Maybe this will be the impetus for me to share my story…look for a future thread or open letter.
MOD- I can set up an e-mail address for anyone who wants to contact me off site and ask about my recovery.
