is this worth reading outside of the context of somebody trying to stop a substance addiction?a friend gave it to me after being "concerned about my xanax consumption" (lmao)
I wouldn't bother reading that garbage, but your friend sounds like he has good intentions and cares for you, so that's nice.
>>23322186It's bereft of value because one of its central premises is that you should live for something greater than yourself, which is plainly a manifestly false idea. The only proper reason to quit drinking is pure rational selfish-interest, to be arrived at through pure intellection. If the delusion of god or concern for others is what it takes to get someone to quit drinking, then these delusions ought to have been removed so that the sufferer would instead continue to drink, to the point of death. There is more dignity and truth in dying in solitude of cirrhosis than there is of acknowleding god and entering a human community. But best of all is the one who quits purely for himself, without regard for what others think.
>>23322186It's just a ripoff of religious ideas
