I spent 20 years fighting a harrowing drug addiction.

Turns out, I was fighting the wrong battle all along.

The real issue? Undiagnosed, debilitating ADHD and crippling executive dysfunction.

Everything changed the day I shifted my focus from "recovery" to building foundational life and soft skills like planning, organization, impulse control, time management, self-monitoring, and communication. 

The addiction didn’t just get “addressed” or “managed”. It slowly dissipated and eventually became obsolete.

What if addiction isn’t the problem? 

What if it’s only a symptom of a much bigger internal struggle?

Tomorrow, I’m sharing a basic framework that completely changed how I approach addiction and, more generally, how I think about aspects of the daily human condition. 

It all comes down to three letters: “Dis.”
