Overcoming Addiction

Unfortunately, most psychologists, psychiatrists, interventionists, drug and alcohol abuse counselors, and specialists still believe that addiction is a disease, and an incurable one at that! They believe that there is no cure and there is no such thing as completely overcoming addiction. However, I have a different take on addiction, and I have proven time and time again that addiction is not a disease! And, I believe that treating it as such is not only counterproductive to recovery, but it prevents people from getting help with addiction. Think about it for a moment. If someone is given the grim prognosis that they have an incurable brain disease, what motivation do they have to find the courage to stop their behavior? But, before I explain why formal treatment programs fail in excess of 90% of the time lets examine the current theories.

The current biopsychosocial disease model of addiction is as follow:

1.The biological theory - Suggests that habitual users of drugs or alcohol have a biological abnormality that causes them to become addicted. The theory suggests that certain individuals are genetically predisposed to addiction by a faulty gene or perhaps a chemical imbalance in the brain, which renders the prospects of completely overcoming addiction an impossible task!

2. The psychological theory - Views addiction as problematic behavior. In other words the individual who has an addiction enjoys the effects that substances or compulsions have on the mind and body. This theory suggests that the desired effect of the habitual behavior makes overcoming addiction extremely difficult.

3. The sociological theory - Suggests that societies which produce higher levels of inner tensions such as guilt, stress, suppressed aggression and conflict have higher rates of addiction and are less likely to overcome it. Furthermore, the model suggests that societies that are permissive of and encourage such behavior have higher rates of addiction. This theory suggests that overcoming addiction requires changing ones social environment!

In my opinion, the sociological aspect determines what type of addiction someone chooses, largely due to nothing more than exposure. While it may be helpful to change ones social environment, the sociological aspect is not the root cause of addiction or the key to overcoming it!

Consequently, addiction is not the disease that the medical community has deemed it to be. In fact, it is not a disease at all! Addiction is a choice, or what many view as a solution to temporarily remove their underlying emotional pain! Someone that is suffering from addiction merely has a co-dependency to a substance or compulsion in response to removing their emotional pain. This temporary solution quickly becomes a trap because the body and mind adapt requiring more and more of the addictive behavior or substance to remove the pain! However, if you understand why you made this choice in the first place, you can make another by choosing a better solution that will remove the pain, permanently! Yes, there is a better solution! One that you can work through in the privacy of your home, and one that will give you what you truly desire, happiness!

My experience has taught me that the mainstream approach to overcoming addiction is fundamentally amiss because formal treatment programs attempt to defeat the symptoms of addiction rather than address the core issue. The majority of all treatment programs offer a group recovery approach as the primary or secondary component of their treatment modality. Unfortunately, these groups are often counterproductive to overcoming addiction and leave the individual at risk for continued relapse.

Recovery groups place a great deal of emphasis on spirituality, powerlessness, and the emergence of a person's sense of soul. They claim many of the steps of the twelve-step program to be paradoxical. Concluding that you are powerless over addiction, but like magic, you some how become more powerful! The goal of the program is a spiritual awakening although they often admit that most people find it difficult to make this connection because they feel victimized by someone else's behavior. My experience teaches me to conclude that admitting you are powerless when it comes to overcoming addiction does not promote empowerment, and nor does it restore self-esteem! In my opinion, many of the twelve steps are not only unnecessary, but they are also counterproductive to making a spiritual connection, increasing self-esteem, and overcoming addiction.

My 5 Steps to Addiction Freedom program streamlines the recovery process by overcoming it in five steps. Unlike the twelve-step philosophy, it defines the core issue, and it shows exactly how to overcome addiction. It eliminates the counterproductive and self-incriminating steps of the failed twelve-step philosophy and replaces them with steps that restore self-esteem, a vital an necessary component to abstinence from habitual behavior since addiction is plainly a self-esteem issue!

Most self help books and treatment programs strive to address the addiction itself, but that's the wrong approach. How can you overcome the symptoms without curing the cause? You can't! And since you can't, taking that approach to overcoming addiction is the equivalent of putting a band-aid on the problem.

Addictive behavior is a symptom of underlying emotional trauma. Therefore, when you fix the root of the problem habitual behavior becomes repulsive. Instead, the mainstream philosophy for overcoming addiction has followed a pattern of bombarding people with multiple theories and confusing psychobabble, neither of which address liberation from underlying emotional trauma, restoring self-esteem, or how to overcome addiction.
