Throughout my professional career, I have visited and counseled with many people about their addictions and what takes place in their lives. There is a definite control that any addiction has on the human body. The way I have heard it said, is that once an addict, always an addict. However, I am here to change that notion. I feel that any addiction is just like bad habit, but one that is very serious and life threatening, both physically and emotionally.
It has been said, that it takes 21 days to form a habit and only 3 days to break a habit. I have seen this be the case with many addictions, yet some can be more powerful than others. One must first believe in themselves. If that can take place, then a complete recovery s possible. If that doens’t take place, there is ni hope.
I worked a few years back with a gentleman that had an alcohol addiction. He had struggled for years with this addiction, and it destroyed every relationship that he had in his life. He was single, over 50 and always down in the dumps.
Just like any bad habit though, he was able to beat it and have a happy/healthy lifestyle. He had a spiritual experience that he said changed him. Along with a few materials that I had given him he was able to beat his addiction. It was such a joy to see him be able to talk about his addiction recovery. He now loves spending time with his son and watching movies. Needless to say, the man is no longer an addict, but a victor.
I think that any addiction can be overcome when someone can learn to rely on their strength. Also, I know a higher power can help a lot of people too.
I used to be addicted to weed. I am so glad that many sites like this helped to motivate me.
I think that if people stay focused in life they can overcome any addiction. Thanks for the great advice

Wow! What a blog. You have a real knack for making a blog readable and easy on the eyes. Some sites look like train wrecks, but not this site – it’s a pleasure to read. I am always interested in reading other sites about addiction, they give me a lot to consider. I don’t have time to read everything right now, I found this site when looking for something else on Yahoo, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will visit again soon to see the latest news. I really appreciate you having this site. As someone who has struggled with an addiction myself, I have started a site devoted to information about it. Please check out my site at http://www.qvof.com when you have a few minutes. Have a good week!
