@Alice Many people smoke to manage their other addictions, such as alcohol or meth. Without having this other outlet for their stress, they would relapse with alcohol. It’s often not about “being stupid.”They’re just trying to reduce suffering and need more social support. #addiction #GaborMate #smoking

3/3

... , the quote above is a great supplement of gabor's definition of addiction, it explains on a part of the why, shows one of the many illusional beliefs that we tell ourselves to, yes, survive psychologically.

"If you ask yourself the question of choosing between guilt and resentment - choose the guilt, all the time! Resentment is a poison that slowly kills you from the inside."

Quote by Gabor Maté in yesterday's live webinar on his book "The Myth of Normal" [2024, it's GREAT!!!].

The webinar was hosted by Vera Etkinlik and in part translated simultaneously from Turkiye to English and I have to say, orga/technical broadcast etc. were almost perfect!

Gratitude pour l'approche de Gabor Maté développée par Sat Dharam Kaur sous la forme d'une année intense, pour aller à la rencontre de soi et de l'autre, être capable de se dire et de dire "Je te vois" en toute authenticité.

Merci aux personnes qui m’ont encouragée, conseillée, soutenue lorsque j’ai pensé ne pas y arriver ! Et à celles qui se sont ouvertes à moi pour pratiquer et que je puisse être évaluée 🙏🏻

'In this conversation, Dr. Gabor Mate discusses the profound impact of trauma on individuals and society, drawing from his personal experiences as a Holocaust survivor. He emphasises the collective nature of trauma, the importance of truth-telling in healing. Mate critiques Zionism and the hypocrisy of Western politics while addressing the challenges of speaking out against injustice. He also explores the physiological effects of witnessing violence and the necessity of resilience and hope and organising in the face of despair.'

"Never Experienced Such DARKNESS" - Gabor Maté's Assessment of the Left

YouTube

Feeling down? Powerless in the face of the social (and climate) events of the last decade? Have times never seemed so bleak?

Well, you're right! Gabor Maté (who lived through the Holocaust, the uprisings against the Vietnam War...) confirms it: it's very bleak. 🙂 But he names the beast: neoliberal capitalism, and urges us to build communities to fight it.
