Thank you very much for this. Coming from Jerry Banfield - one of my heroes in the YouTube channels on cryptocurrencies, and the person whose video also got me interested in Steemit in the first place.
Addiction is a demon I had also faced, although it's hard drugs - something which had destroyed my life and with me losing practically everything. Including respect for myself https://cendana287.wordpress.com/about/
Recovery - it's a never-ending process. The best that we can do is to try do whatever that is right in the here and now, each and every minute, hour and day.
I'm so glad I had looked up your channel and followed you to Steemit.
