7 Step Guide to Creating a Life of Substance Abuse - While it is probable that no one consciously sets out to create a life of substance abuse, those who end up addicted to substances are choosing certain thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that will likely end up leading to some form of substance abuse - drugs, alcohol, nicotine, food, junk food, sugar, and/or caffeine. Addictions and Recovery - "It'll never happen to me." That's the line you hear everyone say about becoming addicted when it comes to alcohol and substance abuse. To the user, that first drink...that first experience on any given drug is "amazing"...especially if you're in your teens. What's really amazing is the percentage of the people who don't get addicted from the first use. Even more amazing are the reasons for the initial use. Back in the 1980s, the reason was, "It'll make you feel good." Anyone remember that commercial? Those of us in our 30s, 40s, and 50s can remember it well; the sinister villain that tied strings to our arms and legs and made us do things we normally wouldn't do. Addiction to Numbness - Linda sat opposite me at one of my five-day Inner Bonding Intensives. She had decided to attend the Intensive because her depression, which had plagued her for years, was not being helped by medication or by the numerous forms of therapy that she had tried. As she sat opposite me, telling me about her past and her depression, I felt like I was sitting with a person who had stuffed herself into a box and closed the door. There was a sense of emptiness and numbness that emanated from her. "Linda," I asked her. "When did you first feel this numbness that I feel coming from you?" Linda started to cry. "I was 9 years old when my uncle sexually abused me. He and my aunt lived a few blocks from our house.

Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - There are many rehabilitation programs all over the world. They take into account particular features representing the multitude of personalities of the individuals, the cause of the addiction, as well as the chemical that provoked it. Whatever the professionals may suggest as efficient for a drug rehab, they have all agreed that nothing is more important than the motivation of the person that is going to follow the program. The motivation means an individual will to pass successfully to another stage of your life, a better one. How do you know that you are a drug addict? Trichotillomania: New Hope for Recovery - Treatments for Trichotillomania are both behavioral and pharmacologic. Medications have been variably beneficial, and work in select cases, but certainly not in the majority. Research studies tend to substantiate this. Isolated reports of success exist with a large number of medications, including SSRI antidepressants (ie Prozac, Paxil, Celexa ...); Buspar, among others. Larger studies have not substantiated the success of medications overall, in the treatment of hairpulling. Medications are more likely to be beneficial in treating conditions underlying hairpulling, such as depression or anxiety, rather than the hairpulling itself.

There are many types of addictions that will have a devastating affect on your life. Recovery From Addictions, Part 2 - (This is Part 2 of a 5-part series on addiction).
