I think humans are programmed for addictions!
We all have them 😉
Alcohol and drug addictions!
Exercise addictions.
Food addiction…
Nicotine …
Addiction to computers and cell phones…
Text and email…
Medication…
Your favorite hobby…
The list goes on and on…
We are amazing as human beings and fragile in our existence!
Our every day world is tough and stressful!
Sometimes it gets hard to compensate or destress .
We reach for medication, alcohol and drugs to help us compensate for our feelings and fears!
We are told that this is what we have to do…
How did our ancestors deal with stress?
First… They did not have to deal with what our society has to deal with in our time!
Second …food provided much more nutrition to feed and ease stress receptors!
Severe addiction will not go away and disappear!
Severe addiction will only change into another addiction!
It can be to something not much better as medication, or it can change into being addicted to another person (relationship)!
Maybe it will change into the addiction to exercise (which I have witnessed before)!
The first step towards getting better is:
1. Recognize the problem.
2. Plan out your recovery.
3. Keep strong and do not give in ( takes 2 weeks to feel better)
4. Keep your nutrition and supplements 100% on track
5. Ask for help!!!
Think of reasons why you want to get better ( family, kids, husband, job, yourself, your future…)
Don’t take short cuts ( changing from drugs or alcohol to meds), don’t use excuses why you didn’t stick with it!
This is about your health, your well being, your life!!!
Just do it 😉
