From what I understand after not going to any AA or NA shit, is that a lot of people find a framework for endurance when they hand responsibility for everything over to a "higher power" that has more control over everything than they will ever hope to have over themselves. From there I guess it's just a few cognitive re-wirings away from "I don't need this, I don't want this, and I have a reason to trust that my suffering will end and that things will get better" (the god part constituting that "reason" ironic when it is in fact an inversion of reason, ie faith. But the mind doesn't really know the difference.)
I think Grimes here is toying with becoming some sort of Christian and is using the vape thing as an excuse to explain it to her fanbase. Lotta weirdos doin tradcath or return to roots larp shit lately, including the rich.
Maybe not, but that really has nothing to do with the fact that lots of people find the strength to overcome addiction through faith.
i fail to see how going to church is going to get anyone off of nicotine, but if it works more power to anyone
Yeah I don't think it matters if it makes sense to you, you don't have to have an opinion on it
yeah, i don't really care about your opinion on it either, and never really asked for it in the first place

tbh all of that's just to get people in the door, the core of twelve step is peer support.
turns out when you help other people work out their addiction problems it's a powerful disincentive to indulge your own addiction, who knew
