Addiction is like a beautiful little warm fire that becomes the destruction of everything you have.

I like this turn of phrase
It is exactly like that. A little warm secret fire in your heart, something that's yours and brings you comfort but slowly fucking burns everything else to ash.
And just like fire, not every fire has to be destructive. If you use the right fuels and keep it under control, you'll have a safe fireplace.
I'd say by the time you can call it an addiction, the fire is already out of control
Very much obviously. I didn't account for that part.
Addiction is never good. I mentally used fire as a metaphor for medicine
Like that, for forests
That's a really good description. I feel like people focus on the highs and the lows of addiction. But one of the main reason it is hard to give up an addiction is it's such a comfort. The ecstatic highs are fun, but the real appeal is having something so simple that makes you feel good.
Why post an inferior version?
