addiction


Addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences for people who are dependent and those that surround them.

Now we know that experts define as a unit, lets you know what people with this disease have to say.

According to some, with whom I have spoken to over the last 14 years + descriptions run the range of flight, the realization of self-actualization. Apart from the obvious side effects that are associated with drug addiction and the propensity of addicts to participate in activities that are linked to a loss of freedom, of what actually happens to the drug addict to keep his fund of choice ?

On many occasions, I had the opportunity to sit down and talk only with a large number of drug addicts and really tried to hear what they had to say to describe themselves and their habits. Consequently, the dependence of these people were in a different way, some have been sex addicts, were employees of certain substances, some addicted to gambling, etc, etc, etc

The list of units to take a ream of paper, the point of interest for me at least it was when I had the opportunity to speak with someone who has drugs in addition to the terminology used, and the explanation is deleted, the content the conversation was always the same.

The basic component of a drug addict is:

1. The person is male / female or whatever.
The 2nd person who is white, black, brown, yellow, red, blue, pink or whatever.
The 3rd person is aged between 1 month to 100 years.
4 The economic situation is not very low, average, poor, poor in high, medium, low, medium, medium, medium high, low rich, heart, full top.
5 The person's level of education is retention, high school graduate, associate / bachelor / master, postgraduate, doctorate.
6 The religious ideology of the person is Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, etc, etc, etc

In the language, no sex bias, race, age of the specific economic-oriented, educational level factor that leads to someone becoming an addict. The addiction begins when the person was given a substance or situation that lent themselves to that person in a place identified by the self-confidence or power. Within this area of security and power, the person who was out of reach of harmful today. This feeling has been described as Nirvana, Shangri-La, return to the matrix, thus, neglect, dispersed, getting high, etc, etc, etc. Once this change is experienced, the desire to return to that same feeling is overwhelming to say the least. This is the "Virgin High" reached only once and never again. The pursuit of this "Virgin High" begins pathological behaviors that are recognized as part of "behavioral addiction"
