Means its not your passion la

Passion is the thing that drives you, harder to detect in your current state. So reflect on your life so far and find the common element in all the things that you do on your own accord.

For example, many would see gamers as "no life" "wasting time", but many gamers actually are drawn to games because they simulate something. Most of the time its problem solving, but maybe it could be exploring story, finding cheats/bugs, etc.


Your mission, needs to be bigger than yourself.


Not everyone has a vocation, if you don't really have one then you need to find it or build it.

Not sure where you got the story from, but that conclusion is not quite right.

The addiction is a symptom, so if you address the cause of the symptom, the symptom goes away. People get into drugs because they are in pain and the drugs help them escape the pain of reality. When the vets got back, many of them returned to their families which had good relationship and support. So they became happy again, and don't need drugs to escape; then can focus on dealing with the trauma.

This became known when they did studies on rats. Initially they got the rats hooked on drugs, that's why they concluded that drugs were so potent. Someone realised that the environment the rats were in was depressing to begin with. So instead of a rat cage, they build a proper home for the rats to allow play and socialising. Then they found out the rats don't get addicted to drugs, and even find in unappealing.

So just changing his "ambience" won't work. He needs the thing that's basic to happiness, which is meaningful and purposeful life, which often requires accountability in a community as well.
