Addictions come in all shapes and sizes and vary person to person. Everyone has a weak spot for something. Sometimes though, the obsession can get out of control and professional help is needed. How do you know if your “fix” has gotten out of hand or not?
Addiction Defined
Addiction is a physical or psychological dependence on a substance or activity. Most of the time addictions start as simple de-stressors and eventually develop into something a person can’t bear to live without. Individuals become trapped by their chronic behavior patterns and the once simple habit becomes and a reckless unbreakable cycle.
Overcoming addiction is possible. It’s crucial to get the right kind of help to make sure that individuals have a chance to break their invisible chains, and free themselves from their “need”. One of the biggest concerns is protecting the well being of the individual and the people around them. It is not uncommon for an addicted person to disregard their own safety or those around them when trying to satisfy their habit.
