This project does not offer recovery, sobriety, healing, or meaning. It does not provide techniques, affirmations, or methods of transformation.

It begins from a different observation: that addiction is not an accident of modern life, nor a pathology that simply went wrong, but one of the most reliable psychological adaptations to a world in which transcendence has withdrawn, obligation persists, and consciousness has become reflexive without consolation.

Addiction stabilizes where symbols no longer bind, where belief has become optional, and where responsibility survives without metaphysical support.

The question is not how addiction functions, nor how it repeats, nor how it embeds itself in the brain. But rather the world that made it rational and inevitable.

The question is why, historically, it has become necessary.
