Using inquiry and critical questioning as a practice to dismantle false beliefs about identity and reclaim intellectual authority.
Sor Juana wielded questions as her primary weapon against authority and falsehood. In addiction recovery, questioning becomes essential: questioning the stories told about you, the beliefs installed before addiction, the narratives that sustain compulsive behavior. What were you told about your worth? What lies does addiction require you to believe? What would change if you questioned the voices that drove you to numb yourself? This concept reframes recovery as an active intellectual practice, not passive acceptance. You are not a victim receiving treatment but a thinker investigating your own life with fierce curiosity. Questions open doors that commands and shame cannot; they return authority to you.
