The fear of what lies beneath

Addiction doesn’t spring up from nowhere. There are often emotional reasons behind it. Cofield says, “Getting help also means having to deal with what led to their addiction. In my experience, there is usually some underlying emotional issue that led to their addiction and they may not be ready to deal with it. They could fear dealing with the painful emotions and memories that might have influenced their addiction which again, does not always have to be drugs.”
