How to Get Rid of Addiction and Abuse
By Lori Prokop
Tell me, does this describe someone you know?
Some people who feel inferior use an addiction to
try to overcome weaknesses, especially in times of increased stress or deep
inner conflict. A person's inner inferiority complex reveals itself in his or
her actions such as addiction, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, child abuse,
compulsive eating, blame and aggression among others.
No successful person desires a destructive
addiction. What people who choose addiction or abuse really want is the power
and ability to create better lives.
Fearing they do not have this power to improve their
lives, you will hear these people use excuses and blame to justify their
addiction and abuse and protect what little dignity they feel they have left.
If you find yourself or others dealing with
addiction or abuse, instead of justifying or blaming, ask the following
questions:
Do I really want healing and resolution for this addiction or
abuse?
Am I willing to improve myself to achieve healing?
Do I realize I can't control others? The only one I can control is
me.
Am I willing to take the first step for myself and get rid of my addiction,
abuse excuses, blame and other destructive habits to achieve peace and
happiness?
Alcohol abuse and drug abuse are common crutches
today. I have met many people who feel tongue-tied or awkward at social events.
They find a few cocktails or beers "give them a lift" turning them from
introvert to extrovert. There are many people who drink to feel better
about themselves, even to the point of abuse or addiction.
For an article entitled Lori Prokop Interviews
the Experts, one doctor said to me, "It's sad but true. A seemingly innocent use
of alcohol can quickly and easily become an addiction, especially if people
perceive they are someway 'improved' when they drink."
Alcohol abuse, drug abuse and any other addiction
are serious forms of personal loss. The people, who depend on any exterior
addiction or abuse rather than improving their perceived weaknesses and healing
their pains, are beaten from the start.
Such a person can find healing.
They must get rid of the addiction and abuse, find a healing system which works
and resolve their fears and pains.
