I really love your byline "Addictions show that you have a lot of energy, but it’s not properly channelized". It suggests to me that, in so many other words, you are applying positive psychology to addiction. And indeed, positive psychology (which was, in retrospect, one of the most valuable courses I took for my own PhD + MA in psychology) teaches us that a lot of "pathological" psychological traits are actually beneficial as long as they don't become over-controlling.

Where I would caution you is when you say "Addictions are there for a reason. They say that you have a lot of energy that you are not putting in the right direction." That implies that the addiction is the person's fault, and it's not. The "fault" lies in how a person handles their addiction(s). As I understand, addictions are innate. I know of a lot of good, productive people that suffer from addictions, and addictions affect people to varying degrees. Take my wife, me, and most of our respective families - We all seem to be "immune" to nicotine and it seems to have no effect on us. We don't get the "rush" that many others do from using nicotine and it is easy for us all not to use it (or not use it again if we do use it). Other people (and families) are not so lucky, and nicotine can be a crushing addiction that leads to many well-documented effects. That does not mean that these nicotine users are "bad" people and/or that they don't have enough to do - it simply means that nicotine affects them far more than it does me and my family.

Overall though, I love your "positive psychology" approach to addictions and I will share this with others. Just be careful about coming across like you are "blaming" the victim. (And, full disclosure, I am not a clinical psychologist - I specialize in studying media and mediated communication. However, much of my formal psychological training overlaps with the clinical folks and I have seen the effects of addiction in my personal life, so I do have an idea of what I am talking about.)
