For some the coping skills learned
earlier in life don't positively manage the stress, fears and
years of emotional scarring. Addicts tend to use a substance,
or behavior with negative implications as a way to numb feelings,
handle anxiety or depression. The state of mind is focused on
the euphoric effects. Keep in mind the planning stages (e.g. going
to a casino, where and when is the next high) may start the euphoric process.
Frequency and pattern will increase
as tolerance levels increase because the euphoria is harder and
harder to achieve. Overall patterns of behavior will include the
addiction in most of their activities. As time goes by, any free
time or social gatherings will include the addiction whenever possible.
Remember God and the devil never
occupies the same space. Your body, mind and spirit are to be
in the likeness of God. Have you or anyone you know, or love,
had or having an Addict Attack?
