In This Episode
Julius talks about the pains of addiction.
Initially, a person might turn to drugs to find some sort of relief. Relief from emotional and also very often physical pain.
For Julius, it was 'his saving grace but also a thorn in his side'.
I would say that it is safe to say that millions of people around the world want to feel loved. They want to feel appreciated and acknowledged.
If and when they don't feel it, they look for ways to create that elusive feeling called love.
As children, we look for it in our parents and as we grow older we seek it in other places.
Many people misunderstand where love comes from and as a result become very unhappy with themselves and with life in general.
So they turn to other things to find some sort of relief.
There are many forms of addictions, shopping excessively, sex, porn, food, chocolate, alcohol, drugs just to mention a few.
Where do you think love is found?
Is it out there in people, pets, places and things?
Where have you been looking?
In this story, one man overcomes many obstacles in his life, sickness, rejection and addiction.
Ultimately he finds love in the one place that we very often forget to look - himself.
If you are seeking, stop your search.
You are what you are looking for.
