Everyone's struggle with addiction is different. I'm glad this person found a good way for them and I'm sure it might help others as well. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't always work for you, maybe you just need to try a different approach.

>Everyone's struggle with addiction is different

Not that different, since people still share billions of years of evolutionary mechanisms, and thousands of years of social conditioning.

At best there are a few different kinds of struggle with addiction.

Depends on your referential. Within humanity, addiction takes very different form. Compared to mosquitos, our addictions are probably still very similar, yes.

I think I fail to see your point though.

Are you saying people tend to exaggerate how different addictions are, for example to better sell some new addiction overcoming books or courses?

They're likely just disagreeing to be pedantic. I struggle with this addiction just like coldtea does...although my experience with it is pretty unique ;)
