Compulsive Behaviors (Addictions)
Drugs (including alcohol), gambling, pornography and other compulsive behaviors can be overcome; and you don't have to wait until you've reached the end of your rope or have hit "rock bottom." You can make a change at any time. You can overcome your compulsion by exploring how they came into your life and learning how to cope with the events and feelings that cause you to seek a way of escaping them.
And it's basically a four step process. Not twelve.
The first step in recovering from a compulsive behavior starts with understanding the disease that leads to it, and the neurological pathways that form the root cause of the disease. The next is coming to an awareness of the personal core issue(s) each individual struggles with that serve as a catalyst to set the compulsive cycle in motion. Once these two components have been uncovered, the third step is about reframing those triggers and working through them so that they no longer hold a person hostage to the compulsion. The fourth and final step lies in forming new neurological pathways and developing more productive coping skills than the compulsive behavior.
It's difficult work, true enough. It would be less than honest to say otherwise. But anything of value takes work to accomplish, and getting back the person who once was before the compulsive behavior took over their life is worth the effort.
If you think you or you're loved one is worth the effort, too, then I urge you to reach out. The start to forming new pathways to a better way of living is just a phone call away.
