The Cause and Curse of Addiction


The Addictive Mind
We’re all addicts; we’re all addicted to something, it’s the only way we can survive — some of these addictions are good, and some of these addictions are not only destructive, they’re deadly.  In this brief article, I want to explain to you how to break the “destructive cycle” of the addictive mind.
…Why are some people addicted to alcohol, food, sex, and drugs?
In short, it’s so that they can cope with the many complications of life.
Addicts aren’t crazy….they’re just trying to cope, they’re just trying to survive. And so they rely on undesirable addictions to provide them with a “temporary loan,” to help them deal with the emotional debt and pains of life.
Unfortunately, the interest rates on these “addiction loans” are extremely high. In fact, the interest rates are so high, that if something isn’t done, the loanswill eventually bankrupt the borrower, this much is certain.
So what is the cause of this pain that drives people to emotional bankruptcy? What causes individuals to seek solitude away from their family and friends,so that they might pursue and enjoy the pleasures of their addictive mind.
