Addiction comes in many guises, be it substances such as smoking, drugs, alcohol, even coffee, to shopping or gambling. Whatever the addiction is, it will likely be expensive and controlling of your every day thoughts and actions. Recognising and admitting that you have a problem is the first step, one which, many never do. We have an amazing ability to brush off and ignore problems rather than face them head on.
The physical act of addiction is equally hard to overcome, if you are addicted to gambling for example, the lure or desperation of winning money can be overwhelming. Addicts who manage to quit their addiction are far more likely to replace their bad habits with an equal or lesser bad habit in order to cope, forming a never-ending loop.
Addiction doesn’t just end with the addicted. Lives end prematurely, jobs, friends, family, spouses can be lost. Addiction can result in complete devastation of everything you once held dear. You may not see the affect you are having right now and choose to bury your head in the sand, hoping it will go away, but it never will. Not unless you choose to do something about it.
Have you ever tried to quit? What did you do? Did you go ‘cold turkey’ or ‘cut back’? Were you, or have you ever been successful in quitting, either completely or for a short time? Chances are, you reverted back to bad habits, am I right? Stopping something that you have become addicted too is incredibly difficult to do alone. You may be worried about side effects for example when you quit smoking, taking drugs, drinking alcohol etc, your body suffers withdrawal to not receiving a substance that it has become accustomed to.
It is important to recognise that addiction, in any form, is a psychological illness stemming from the brains reward and memory system forcing the sufferer to pursue reward via substance uses.
