Addiction Is...

Whether your drinking, smoking or struggle with watching adult films addiction is all the same. The symptoms can be categorized as the same for different addiction types.

So what is addiction?

To simply put it, addiction is a stress response from a particular stimulus (person, place or thing).

How do you navigate out of it?

You dissociate yourself from those stimuli (person, place or thing), and replace it with new healthier behaviors.

Example: If you find yourself smoking, drinking or watching adult films when your emotions are affecting you remove yourself from that stimuli (person, place or thing) and replace it with a healthier behavior.

You can jog in place for 10 seconds or find some sort of exercise that you can manage to do for a short period.

What you're doing is forming a new behavior and getting healthier in the process.

This is what is known as neuroplasticity.

And yes, it does take time, but careful planning coupled with paying attention to how your body responds to certain people, places or thing can definitely lead you towards success.
