What is Addiction?

If your loved one is an addict, it might be difficult to maintain a safe and peaceful atmosphere at home. Therefore, it's critical to first understand what addiction is. It will help you understand your loved one and maintain a harmonious household.   Society labels people as addicts based on several preconceived notions. But the truth is, addicts don't fall into any one category. They are simply individuals who developed a dependency. People from all aspects of life and with all types of personalities can become addicts. Studies have recorded a few models of addiction, and in this episode, I‘m talking about the characteristics and differences between them.   I also discuss how you feel like you've done everything you can to treat your loved one's disease and are now depressed as a result of the situation. But it's critical to keep in mind that you did not cause the addiction. So you also can't make it right. However, you can assure them of your ongoing support and trust in them to overcome addiction.   If you're ready to look at the real issues and develop practical steps to bring peace into your life and the life of your loved one; Book your first session here. https://calendly.com/soberonpurposepodcast/let-s-visit   Check out my Podcast: https://soberonpurpose.libsyn.com/  Relationship/Recovery Coaching:  http://www.tanyagioia.com/  Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tanya.gioia.9/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tanyagioiacoach/ Follow me on Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/tanya-gioia-96ab2221 Check out my success stories: http://www.tanyagioia.com/work-with-me/   DISCLAIMER: Any information or advice I give is purely based on my own experience and research.
