Matt Stevens, in this episode of 'My Sober Addiction', dives into this paradox, particularly focusing on heroin addiction. He shares his journey from the mindset of scarcity to one of abundance, highlighting how even with money in hand, the addiction always took priority over essentials like food and shelter.

It's a moment that underscores how deeply ingrained these habits can be and how much work is needed to fully break free from them.

He emphasizes the power of thoughts and where we direct our energy, reminding us that we become what we think about. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the challenges and triumphs in the journey towards a truly sober life.
