Overcoming Addiction
Overcoming addiction, temptation, or any error of the human mind involves yielding to the divine mind. Mentally the addiction affects the way we think and feel, and how we live our life. The addiction will literally stunt the growth process, and the addict will remain childish, selfish and insensitive to the needs of others. Psychologically the addict remains in denial. Addicts have a difficult time suppressing their negative emotions and are immature and childish. Alcohol and drug addiction affects the whole family. Family members are affected in different ways.
Mostly the person who loves the addict and enables the addiction it affected. This person is called the enabler because they sweep things under the rug, so to speak, pretending there isn’t a problem. Smoking is at the top of the charts in terms of difficulty of quitting. But the majority of ex-smokers quit without any aid––neither nicotine patches nor gum, Smokenders groups nor hypnotism.
