Addictions are a part of human life, and in reality we are all addicted to something. The only question is whether or not the addiction serves us. Some people are addicted to work. “Workaholics” are considered to be okay as this addiction benefits them to some extent. This is just an example of a socially “acceptable” addiction.

Some people are addicted to dis-empowering emotions of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD etc. Others may be addicted specifically to chemicals in the former of tobacco, alcohol, prescription or elicit drugs. Some people simply find food is impossible to pass up.Yet others, gambling, porn or sex addictions may be ruling their lives.

So, ultimately it’s your choice!! If you have a behavior that is no longer serving you, there are ways to eliminate it. It need not be difficult or challenging. There doesn’t have to be withdrawal symptoms. You can eliminate all the urges, cravings, mood swings, highs and lows, beating yourself up.
