Going forward, I am going to be focusing more on recovery, addiction, and mental health. I will still be talking about freelancing, marketing, and building a business, but it will be through the lens of recovery.

To start out I am talking about the book "Recovery" by Russell Brand. I think it is a great book and will help anyone dealing with addiction.

Today I talk about the 5-Step Cycle Of Addiction. In his book "Recovery" Russells Brand lays out the process of how addictive behavior starts. The 5 steps are as follows:

1. Pain

2. Using an addictive agent, like alcohol, to soothe and distract

3. Temporary anaesthesia or distraction

4. Consequences

5. Shame and guilt, leading to pain or low self-esteem
