Poscast #20: Addiction, Anxiety & the Spirit of Should

The Spirit of Should tells us that it’s not enough. Right here, right now, it’s just not good enough.

This doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. But, for people struggling with addiction and anxiety, it can’t help but poke at the Wound. 

And there’s more. Because the Spirit of Should uses this opening to remind us that right here, right now, “I am not good enough.”

This is the belief that keeps someone plugged into the cycle of addiction.

This is what feeds and sustains the Spirit of Should.
