I don’t think I’m addicted.
I can stop.
I just don’t want to.
Whether it’s gambling, work,
or checking numbers again and again.
How would an ossan think about addiction?
Ossan’s answer
An ossan doesn’t define addiction
by frequency.
He defines it by intention.
If you do something
to avoid sitting still,
that’s the signal.
Addiction often looks like discipline
from the outside.
But inside,
it’s escape.
An ossan knows this line well.
The question is not,
“Can I stop?”
It’s,
“What shows up when I do?”
Silence.
Restlessness.
Thoughts you don’t like.
An ossan doesn’t fight addiction directly.
He makes room for what it’s covering.
When you can sit with that,
the grip weakens on its own.
Slowly.
Without drama.
