| Overcome Addiction - The Common Denominator |
|
Do you know what drug, alcohol, sexual, gambling, food, smoking,
and shopping addictions have in common?
There is a common denominator or square root in all self
destructive behavior which causes an individual to choose addiction.
I also believe that addiction is a choice, and it is not caused by an
incurable brain disease, a genetic predisposition, learned behavior,
or a chemical imbalance.
The Square Root of Addiction is the emotional trauma caused by
family dysfunction.
Many of the proponents of the disease model would have you believe
that an incurable brain disease causes you to become chemically
dependent on a substance. However, none of them can explain why
this doesn't apply to other addictions! Think about it. Is there
a chemical in the lever of the slot machine that cause a gambling
addiction? Is there a chemical in the air at the local mall that
causes compulsive shopping? And, is there a chemical in people that
causes a sexual addiction? Of course not!
Addiction is an attempt to mask the pain of underlying emotional
trauma caused by family dysfunction.
So, where is your pain coming from? When you were a child, did
your parents verbally abuse you? Were you physically or sexually
abused? Did one or both of your parents suffer from alcoholism?
Did your parents control or manipulate you? Did your parents show
up part time for a job that required full time parenting?
Like most, you may not realize just how much these family dysfunctions
have destroyed your self-esteem, or why they are the root cause
of your addiction!
If you a question about how family dysfunction may have caused
your addiction and your unhappiness, feel free to contact me at
