Addictive Diseases – Sexual and Relationship Rehabilitation

We don’t recover from addiction by quitting. We recover by creating a new life where we are more likely to not get involved in addiction.

Once upon a time, most people believed that addiction was a moral failure, lack of self-will or a deep psychological deficit (a personality disorder), rather than a long-term emotional illness. This moralized belief system was common until the mid-1920s.^Th When our understanding and viewpoints about addiction begin to shift slowly and steadily. One reason for this shift is the recognition that addicts are almost always survivors of severe or chronic trauma. The more we know about addiction, the more meaningful it makes. On the one hand, it is obvious that addiction is not about Feel goodthey want Feel less. We turn to addictive substances and behaviors not because we want to have a good time, but because we need to self-heal and self-regulate our emotions. Our main goal is Escape from life Then No feeling Stress, anxiety, depression, fear and other forms of discomfort. That is the disease we have to overcome.
