| How
do I know if I am suffering from an addiction? If you
cannot stop behaving in a way that threatens to harm
or ruin your life, or those around you. This is the
point that you need help. Addictions can have a dangerous
effect on the mind, body, spirit and emotional state.
Although treatable, without intervention and help by
a trained counselor, the problems of addiction become
unmanageable, chronic and may progress toward disability
or death. Addiction can take many forms - from substance
abuse, gambling, sexual, shopping, work, and food. Even
with things that you might think are good for you, like
exercise can become an addiction. |
