Dependancy is deeply rooted within the psychology of the human mind. As habit progresses, it modifications key elements of the particular person’s judgment, morality, and persona. These addictive modifications occur in a predictable sample. On this video, we’ll discover the psychological levels addicts and alcoholics undergo.

This makes me want to be addicted.
We do know.
Jesus the Christ saved me from addiction and he can save you to
Good luck
IWILL NEVER EXCEP IT NEVER
Don't be CODEPENDENT
OMG, Amber, when I heard you describe the puffer fish personality, later say sometimes you have to take your hands off the wheel and then reading echo 12345's comment, I realize the same overlap with my step daughter relationship but with no addiction. If I remove the "addicted" word it matches my situation perfectly. The strategies, psychologically, with a wounded person seem to be the same. The bad guy, victim mentality mindset is also identi al. Ir seems to boil down to them taking accountability and responsibility for their bad behavior. I am currently backing off, just hoping her and my husband can work on their issues (that were there before I came in the picture). Don't know if or when I can re- establish a she/I relationship, cuz I strongly get the vibe now she wants nothing to do with me.😢 I have thought maybe I am dealing with Narcissist but still trying to figure it out. From what I see there is a lot of entitlement, lack of remorse, no reciprocality. Leaves me in a verrrrry awkward position. The boundary mindset you mentioned at the end, saying you won't engage when they behave this way (even being mean and disrespectful to my husband via text) is my MO right now.
I am not in denial about my addiction and I saw it comming well before
I had a higher power since was a young child because I was brought up in a religious faith.I need competen professional help
I don't want to be on an endless treadmill of recovery And will not my share my personal life to a bunch of strangers because I have been betrayed and used.Lived experience.
My question is now he's found God .and he's blocked me which is not whst Jesus would do😢
I have heard and experienced most of these scenarios.
There are many types of addictions…even food.
Here is my thinking. I feel bad physically/mentally. I see how almost every time I drink, I do a lot of good things – fix something around the house, clean up, etc. So I do good and I also get to avoid feeling really really bad.
I'm 36 no dui make well above average wage never been violent. I know I have a problem. But the NUMBER 1 driver of my addiction is AVOIDANCE. I don't won't to feel the physical and mental pain completely. Embrace the fog I feel. Sucks watching myself by more beer like I have no control.
I feel like this video doesnt give justice to the cases that dont "end badly" in the traditional sense.
Dying young, killing potential, hurting people who know you could be so much more. Even in subtle ways. I sit and watch the stress people are under. I watch how devisive our leaders are. The motivation to turn negative into something positive is gone.
There are very very functional alcoholics out there. These examples sound like lunatics that dont deserve the care their loved ones are giving them. Threats and violence does not at all apply to some alcoholics.
Minute 38 is pretty good
Ireland is a alcoholic drinking country, I'm a alcoholic and I'm so proud of my Irish tradition. 🇮🇪
Ps. Your long enough Dead.👍
I'm so glad i found you before i lost mind!!
👍

Thank you for helping me come to terms with the fact I am an addict. I recently got a Naltrexone prescription and it helped me bail before the owning it phase. Hearing you talk about what I was going through makes me realize how blessed I was to get out. I'm not even a religious man but maybe it's time to change that😂 I know I have a lot of work to do to keep it this way…but this helps
My son and his fiancé and 4 year old lives with my husband and I. I find that I spend way too much time in my room or driving around to stay out of the house to avoid the environment when my son is drinking. My son is an alcoholic who was clean over a year ago but has relapsed. It started with 1 or 2 beers and has increased to several. His fiancé drinks with him sometimes but not to the extent that my son does. I feel sad for my grandson because it definitely affects him in a negative way and he’s really acting out. I’ve been to counselling but I am at a standstill because I am returning to the same environment. If they didn’t have a child I believe that I would have asked them to leave but I simply can’t thinking about the terrible situation that their child will be in. I am not sure where to start.
You people are so bloody soft. Addiction is a weakness of the mind. I have done pretty much everything you can think of. I drink because it helps me be around stupid people. I can go forever without alcohol but I choose not to because I still have to deal with society. I also smoke dope because it helps me to understand how to be calm around stupid people. I smoke cigarettes because I can use it as an excuse to leave when stupid people are around. Substances are not the problem, people are the problem. We need fewer people. Scratch that, stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed!!

What causes addiction? No one ever got over addiction without finding out that.
good to see an overweight person talking of addiction so openly
Alcohol addiction is a horrible thing and its the only withdrawal that can actually kill you you can withdraw from heroin without methadone you will be in a world of hurt but you will be through the worst of it by ten days alcohol withdrawal without medication when you are truly addicted i mean throwing your guts up every morning until you get enough alcohol in your system to feel okay which is difficult when they are violently throwing up they also go into seizures and have fits too its the most horrendous thing to go through there is medication they can give you to ween you off without any pain or side effects but the waiting list to get it is so long most die waiting and this is the uk i can imagine the usa would probably charge a lot of money for that medication we have the nhs thankfully 😢
Psychology of addiction is all well and good and can stop relapse but to get clean when they are physically addicted they need the medication too
Thank you for your advice. I hope that we will understand the danger of addiction from all those dangerous substances , and others that spoils our well being. until it is too late to fix it .

Alcohol is from the devil. This is why alcohol kills around 3 million people very year according to WHO.
Qur’an 5:90. O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
Im acholic bravo
I worked hard to be addict
They have problems. They want answers to find happiness.
Up to 100yrs ago, before modern psychology, people believed all mental problems and bad behaviors were actually demonic influence. What if it's both…or one and the same? How ridiculous…and yet, a small number actually get sober using modern methods.
Most thst do crack or heroin are thiefing scum bags
Hello my name is Pamela and I am a peer in Fort St. John BC Canada and I have lived and living experience and I am a substance user.
U have no right to call me an addict.
The language you use is offensive.
As a peer I am trying to help other substance users .
You need to look up Dr Gabor Matae.
Addiction comes from trauma.

I was shocked it was only my husband not her dad, have supported her we built her trust in us she been sober for 5vyears but thecrest of family still treat her like they did when she was a axholic i thought they all been over the moon even her daughter turned her back on her mother, its a very complex journey to get sober.

I recommend anybody with a partner/husband/wife who is an alcoholic to leave and make another life. I went through 32 years of verbal abuse and in the end when he lost his career and we had to sell a beautiful house I went down to nearly nothing and no financial security. (I had two sons who were affected). I was in my fifties. I am now in my eighties and have had a financial struggle but I do have a peaceful life. He ruined my life. If you stay in the hope that it will get better you are living on a çliff edge wondering when they will have the next drink. To this day I am very angry that I wasted my life by hoping things would get better. He died a few years after I left and I had divorced him, and afterwards he desperately tried to get me back.
Make a new life. Addictive people are the most selfish people on earth.
