Addiction
September 30th, 2011
Addiction is a complex thing to deal with. Overcoming addiction is even more complicated. Just saying the word “addiction” is kind of an understatement.
Addictions have a wide range of categories and stream from all sorts of venues. Most generally people who become addicts feel an overwhelming amount of pressure, stress, depression or all of the above.
It is harder to cope with things sometimes in the real world so they create an alternative to the everyday pain. The addiction can be numbing, and soothing to them. Like drugs and/or alcohol. Then there are addictions like love, sex, the combination and twist of the two.
How do people develop addictions like these? I learn from watching others. It is how I have always been. Learning how other’s justify their ways and make excuses for themselves and their selfish addictions can be a real eye opener. It is amazing some of the things you learn by just listening! But, I will still always wonder how these things REALLY happen.
Most of the time I think relationship related addictions stem more from emotional neglect or sexually abuse. I know that sounds crazy. These two things are far from similar, one is physical the other is emotional. Just think about it. People who are emotionally neglected as a child will long for love and affection. Sexually abused people sometimes refuse affection.
In reality though, we all long for love. Addictions like these normally are not addressed as quickly as addictions like drugs or alcohol. I mean who wouldn’t want to find the perfect person to spend the rest of their life with. Some are lucky, some not so much, and then some find it and lose it. Those addicted to love, well, the idea of it, are normally the ones who have problems finding it.

This is really interesting! For me, the hardest addiction to overcome is that of love. As you’ve mentioned here, everyone seems to be looking for the right and perfect person for her/him. Well, this is where the problem begins. Will you be waiting for this person to come or will you settle for someone who is not that perfect but who accepts you for who you are?
