It’s not just about the problem of drugs, alcohol or gambling etc. It’s also about workaholics, and OCD’s.

For a person with addictive tendencies, the substance or the behaviour (they think) is the solution, until it becomes a problem.
Jews are no different
It is one of the big ‘sweep under the carpet’ issues in the Jewish community. There is no reason to believe that it is any different in the Jewish community. In fact, there is good reason to believe that it is a bigger problem in the Jewish community.

The 12 Steps

Although Jews were not traditionally drinkers. Gambling and other addictions have always been present. Alcoholism is now at epidemic proportions along with drugs, gambling, work and a host of other
issues. The fantastic traits that we enjoy in the Jewish community – Pressure to succeed, the close family and community bonds, Jewish mother syndrome, etc. Also bring stresses and pressures which are perfect
incubators for addictive behaviour patterns.

Not everyone becomes affected to a degree that destroys their lives, often it destroys the lives of their friends or family. How many divorces are really the product of addictive behaviour patterns, workaholics, OCD, drugs, drink? to name a few.

The vast majority of people and their families just suffer in silence for years as these addictive behaviour patterns often never become so severe that they need emergency treatment or rehab. Every week we hear of people who have died because of addiction – its that bad.

Testimonials…

For a long time, I thought I was just angry — at the world, at people who hurt me, and at myself. What I didn’t realize was that I was carrying years of pain from childhood trauma
— growing up around emotional neglect, abuse, and feeling like I was never enough. I learned to hide my hurt and pretend everything was fine, even when I was breaking inside.

Using drugs became the only way I knew how to silence it all. They helped me numb the flashbacks, the shame, and the constant noise in my head. It worked for a while, until it started destroying everything that mattered — my family, my friends, and my future.

Then I hit rock bottom and tried to kill myself. But getting help showed me that recovery isn’t about being perfect — it’s about healing. It meant facing the memories I’d buried, forgiving myself for the things I did in survival mode, and learning that vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s courage

MoisheAddict
For decades, I carried the weight of sexual abuse in silence. The shame and fear felt unbearable, and I turned to alcohol and drugs to cope. I lost years of my life — relationships,
opportunities, and a sense of who I really was.

Reaching out for help was terrifying, but it became the first step toward healing. Recovery has been about facing my trauma, forgiving myself, and reconnecting with my faith and my
community.

Today, at 40, I’m sober and slowly rebuilding my life. I’m learning that healing is possible, and that HaShem never gave up on me — even when I had given up on myself.
