Addictions
Addictions are a worldwide phenomenon, recognized as the number on health problem of the 21st century. Adversely affecting the lives of millions across all geographical boundaries and cultures. At a personal level, people’s lives are destroyed by their addictions and their loved ones also suffer the trauma from the negative ripple effect.
The cycle of addiction is often associated with activities that initially bring pleasure and release from everyday life and pressures. Chemicals produced in the brain, which encourages us to partake in activities and enjoy the highs, and satisfactions are usually stimulated by these activities. Fetishes are fine until they start reducing the quality of your life and start causing physical and emotional pain and addiction disorder. How addicted to addiction are you?
Normally they are methods of escape from emotional pain and thus the more emotional pain we can neutralize, the less likely you are going to revert to the addictive substance.
These obsessive conditions and addiction effects are often ruinous to a marriage if they are allowed to continue. They are compulsive behaviours that are usually fuelled by deeply seated anger or fear of intimacy.
Eating addictions continue to expand our waistlines and destroy our health. Addictions are not about will power. The problems facing addicts, alcoholics, and their families are miserable, disgusting, and infuriating.
The problems are much better viewed as a symptom of other underlying personal trouble and deficiencies. This is why most addiction therapies are so universally unsuccessful.
Some of the many addictions that we can suffer from include attachments to others that are not fulfilling, cravings for food, compulsions for sex or sexually acting out, gambling, the need for stimulants or other mind altering substances, and more. They are cunning, powerful and baffling! They defile and control our lives.
Addictions are completely controllable if you have a sense of self-control. It is a state of mind that makes you believe that you "Need" something to survive even if you just want it.
Addictions are always said to be bad. Love for a particular thing when turns into obsession runs the risk of getting harmful.
These compulsive fixations are a mystery to most professionals. Addicted people come to them for help and want….really want….to be free of their addiction. One must look beyond the addiction itself and deal with underlying deficiencies in coping and life management skills that have given rise to it. The obsessions are not easy to overcome, but if people are willing to give it a try, perhaps the try will become the reason for quitting.
Some times you need to hit “rock bottom” in order for change to occur. Unable to control vices at all times, and being unable to stop using these vices. Sex becomes an addiction when it interferes with relationships or other passions. Addictions are escape mechanisms used to temporarily relieve uncomfortable feelings. For the addicted person to really overcome an addiction, he or she needs to learn how to face uncomfortable feelings rather than trying to escape them.
The way to have PERMANENT freedom
from alcohol and drugs requires only three things:
(1) A way to successfully (and as painlessly as possible) get through withdrawal. But first:
(2) An inner experience that is strong and consists primarily of good feelings and not bad ones
(3) A way to view life that automatically and easily creates a life and feeling of deep fulfillment, inner strength and great purpose.
The Addiction Free Forever program
shows how to do all 3 of these things
and guides you through the process.
And when these three things are accomplished, alcohol and drugs are experienced as too harsh and therefore aren't desired or considered anymore.
