In my experience, women with addiction are some of the
most gifted/talented people I’ve ever met. This came as a complete shock
to me. I expected that everyone I met in treatment would be
“losers”. Other patients who were in inpatient treatment with me
included:
·
A world-renowned radiologist who created some of
the most innovative technology we use to treat cancer today
·
A very talented nurse with a master’s degree in
epidemiology
·
A classical violin player who graduated with a
degree in Violin Performance from a well-known, prestigious conservatory and
has performed throughout the US and Asia
·
A handful of attorneys
·
Numerous artists and musicians who really
impressed me
So there seems to be a correlation between addiction and
“giftedness”. However I’m not sure if correlation equals causation in
this scenario.
