Understanding several different types of Addictions…
Article by viraj sawant
Addictions eventually catch up with you and change your life in such a way that you will have to face the fact that you need help. Recovering from addictions usually happens once you have hit the bottom and finally realize that you need help from outside sources so that you can lead a life that is addiction free. There are many types of addictions that will have a devastating affect on your life.Addictions eventually catch up with you and change your life in such a way that you will have to face the fact that you need help. Recovering from addictions usually happens once you have hit the bottom and finally realize that you need help from outside sources so that you can lead a life that is addiction free. There are many types of addictions that will have a devastating affect on your life.
Addictions, and recovery from them, require that you actively seek help from a source other than yourself. You may want to start by consulting with your family doctor or with an addiction counselor. This is a good place to start since it will be important to access both your emotional and your physical behavior as they are related to your addictions and your substance abuse. You and your doctor will need to decide what is going to work best for you in order that you stop using your drug of choice. It won’t matter what your type of addiction is since all addictions require the same amount of professional help and support.
There are several different types of addictions that you may or may not already be aware of. Addictions include:
People become addicted to many types of substances. Many people become addicted to medications and other substances. There are some substances that are more addictive than others. For instance, drugs like heroin are so addictive and it can take it only one or two uses before a person is addicted.
A person who is addicted to cocaine has grown so used to the drug that they feel they can’t live without it. Addiction can be physical, psychological, or both. Physical addiction is when a person has become physically dependent on a substance.
Over time a person will build up a tolerance to that substance, so that they need a larger dose so that they get the same effects. When an addict who is physically addicted to a substance stops using they may experience withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal can be much like having the flu and include symptoms such as the shakes, diarrhea, and weakness.
Believe that Recovery is Possible!
Freedom from addictions is often referred to as “recovery”. There are many temporary solutions for freedom from addictions but there are really only two ways to permanently overcome addictions.
One of the most common methods of overcoming addictions is to be firm with the practice of abstinence. This means that you completely stop using your drug of choice so that you have no way to continue to feed addictions. This means that the alcoholic can never have another drink and that the gambling addict can never again go to a casino or other place where any type of gambling action takes place.
This method of abstinence, however, won’t work with food addictions since you cannot stop eating. Wanting to give up your addictions is one thing, but to actually to follow through with abstinence is usually very difficult for an addict. Many addicts think that they can continue with their addictions but to only use their drug of choice in a moderate manner. For most people with addictions this is only a dream and wishful thinking. Full recovery from addictions for most addicts will mean a lifetime of abstinence from their drug of choice.
For those addicts with addictions that can be controlled by limiting the drug of choice in a moderate manner, there is the realistic goal those addictions can be overcome permanently. These types of addictions include food addictions, shopping addictions, and sexual addictions. The addict will need to decide how much moderation they need to exercise before their addictions take over with addictive behavior once again. This is the path of recovery from addictions.

Beating Addiction and Finding Recovery
Article by Patrick Meninga
Beating addiction is a journey, not an event. Any recovering alcoholic or addict will tell you that overcoming addiction is a process that unfolds before you for the rest of your life. But what exactly does this process entail, and how can we go about pursuing it successfully?
Surrender
Before you can even attempt to beat any form of drug or alcohol addiction, you have to surrender fully to the disease. What exactly does this mean?
It means you have to stop fighting with yourself in terms of trying to control your use. You have to give up the idea that you might one day be able to drink or use drugs like a normal person can. If you are hanging on to the idea that one day you might be able to control your drinking or drugging and thus use successfully, then you are setting yourself up for failure.
Surrender is a process. It just happens; I’m not sure that you can really initiate it if you are truly not ready to give up. Most people would say you have to “hit bottom” first. If you are still having fun with drinking and drugging, then chances are not good that you can surrender to the disease. It is only after addiction has caused you a lot of misery that surrender becomes possible. It is only after the fun times are long gone that a person might consider the idea of recovery.
Beating addiction is a tough road and it takes a monumental effort. The alternative is to continue to self medicate and that is so much easier, even in the face of grave consequences.
Supercharge your recovery with a holistic approach Because addiction attacks a person’s mind, body, and spirit, the solution must also address each of these areas of your life. That is what makes a holistic approach so useful in recovery. So often in recovery I have seen people focus heavily in one area and neglect the others. This always leads to relapse.
A holistic approach addresses these problems. You physically abstain from chemicals and start treating your physical body much better. At the same time a successful recovery program will push you to grow spiritually. You’ll also mature emotionally as you repair relationships, and also socially as you develop a sober network of friends in recovery.
Don’t just eliminate….create a new life
Beating addiction requires you to replace an entire lifestyle. It’s not just the drugs and the alcohol that was ruining our lives; it was the lifestyle that went along with it all.
When we get clean and sober, there are a number of different holes in our life. One of the main holes is the time and activities associated with actually using the drugs and the alcohol. Maybe we went to certain bars, hung out with certain people and used drugs, or whatever the case may be. We all had our “watering holes.” And we spent a lot of time at them.
So really what we are faced with in order to beat addiction is to fill those holes. We can’t just sit around and expect to stay entertained…this is a recipe for relapse. Instead we need to create a new life in recovery. This is a whole topic in and of itself that can be expanded on a great deal.
Find a passionate replacement strategy
Another one of the “holes” in early recovery is the spiritual void that is left when we remove the drugs and the alcohol. Beating addiction requires you to fill that hole–be it through spiritual, religious, or natural means. But there is definitely a need for purposeful and passionate living to replace the fervor with which we pursed chemicals in our addiction.
There are a number of creative replacement strategies that can be used to grow spiritually, and there are a number of ways to start exploring the creative life in recovery. Beating addiction can be purposeful and exciting.
I now invite you to learn more about beating addiction with the creative life in recovery.http://www.spiritualriver.com/

Stop Living With Your Addiction And Get Your Life Back
Article by Sunset Malibu
If you’re here, reading this, you already know how awful it is to live with addiction. You don’t need to be told that substance abuse strips its victims of their dignity, and leaves them incapable of relating to everything and everyone they’ve ever cared about. You also shouldn’t need to be told that the only real addiction recovery is long-term addiction recovery that starts at an exclusive addiction treatment center. In the end, healing isn’t really healing unless it lasts forever.
Many of the most exclusive alcohol addiction treatment centers in Los Angeles focus on the short-term milestones of the recovery process. This is a mistake. Yes, it’s important that a rehab resident celebrate his first month of sobriety

I had been addicted to Vicodin and Norco for almost ten years when I received my first "scrippie" or prescription for Oxycontin. I took two of the little pink beauties and washed them down with a soda. While driving, the Oxycontin hit me like a freight train. A warm rush filled my veins as I pulled my car over due to the intensity of the feeling. My jaw became soft, my temples were ringing with joy, and I was this soft, gummy person that became a fixture in the seat of my car. A teardrop rolled

What’s The Connection Between Drug Addiction And Alcoholism?
Article by Chris Haycock
Most people have the idea that alcohol is not a drug. Hey, let’s face it, it’s legal to drink, as long as you’re old enough by the local law wherever you are. So that’s OK then. It’s seen as socially Acceptable.
But of course alcohol is a drug, and alcoholism is just as much a form of drug addiction, as serious as being addicted to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or any other “Non-legal” drug. The problem is that so many people regard alcohol as just another beverage.
One definition of drug addiction is an uncontrollable desire for a substance that the person feels they have to have in order to function, even live.
We can define alcoholism in the same way. When someone is an alcoholic, i.e. adicted to alcohol, they can’t live without it. They just cannot see their life without the presence of alcohol. It is a fixture in their life, and has to be there. Alcoholics often do not see it as a problem, and will usually not give it up without a real fight. The plain fact is that they are just as much a drug addict as the dopeheads and cokeheads.
An alcoholic can’t live without the “high” that it gives them. Just to re-inforce the point the Food and Drug Administration has in fact classified alcohol as a drug. So by any sensible person’s definition an alcoholic is a drug addict.
It’s not all doom and gloom, alcoholics can get help for their addiction, just as addicts to other substances can. I’m sure we have all heard of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). These are groups of people in pretty much every town, usually run by ex alcoholics, who meets at regular intervals, and work on “The twelve steps to recovery.” This is a hard road, and it is accepted that an alcoholic is always an alcoholic and always “recovering.”
So called “regular” drug addicts, when coming off their substance of choice, suffer from withdrawal symptoms. This is also true of alcoholics. The various effects of both alcoholism and drug addiction are far reaching, and can linger for years. So we can see the connection between the two.
When an alcoholic reaches a point when they want help for their condition it is most important for them to realise that they are in fact in the grip of a powerful drug addiction. This realisation is often the main key to recovery.
Just as heroin addiction is a serious disease, so is alcoholism. We may not think that alcohol addiction is a serious as heroin addiction, but in fact it is just as debilitating, and can affect you just as badly, often in ways you couldn’t imagine. Try Googling “Effects of Alcoholism” and see what you come up with, you may be surprised, and probably not a little frightened.
If you believe that you may be addicted to alcohol and you want to do something about it then get help quickly. The sooner the better. It is everyone’s right to have a good long, healthy life. It’s not too late. As always, the best time to start your recovery is right now.
Now a successful entrepreneur and information publisher, Chris Haycock has had his own battles with alcohol in the past. Now “recovering” he spends a lot of time trying to help others. If you want to know more go to http://www.stopyourdrugabuse.com
