Typical Kinds of Love Addicts
Author: Susan Peabody

In the last decade, a lot has changed in the world of love addiction. Not that love addiction itself has changed. It is pretty much the same insidious disorder it always has been. What has changed is how the world looks at it. Twenty years ago, our understanding of love addiction was still emerging out of our understanding of codependency. Therefore, love addiction and codependency seemed to be one in the same. However, today we understand that this is not true. Love addiction stands alone, and codependency is only one of several underlying personality disorders. To make it perfectly clear how one love addict differs from another LAA has prepared the following list:

The Uses of Smoking: An Integrated Awareness® Perspective

It gives you some pointers for how you can go about quitting successfully.

The Pleasure Compulsion: Play It Again Sam
Author: Susan Peabody

The Freudians use the term repetition compulsion to describe “the mind’s tendency to repeat traumatic events in order to deal with them.”1 Another Freudian term, the pleasure principle, describes the need of the infant to seek gratification.2 In adults, this would be called the “production of pleasure.”3 So what happens when we combine these concepts, and what shall we call this phenomenon? Well, for lack of a better term, I call it the pleasure compulsion, or the tendency to repeat the same pleasurable experience over and over again in an attempt to ameliorate trauma.

The Next Step in Recovery
Author: Nancy Nolley

I believe alcoholism starts with a breach of personal integrity. As children and young adults, we couldn't always reconcile our whole Self with a dysfunctional environment, and the pain of that breach of wholeness was dulled by drinking.

"The Healing Power of Love"
Author: Curt Doll

First we must become quiet deep inside. What comes from God is eternal. If we have faith even as small as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible for us to attain. As I think in my heart, so I am. Out of our heart comes life. If I can begin to hallow our Father's name "as" it is in heaven, I am on my way. First I must pray for a faith that equals this great requirement.

Stop Smoking: The truth about smoking and nicotine addiction. Learn how to stop the habit.
Author: Sean Harder

Most of us have been fooled by the industry to believe that nicotine addiction is the problem that needs to be overcome in order to be successful. Drug companies are making a fortune with their gum, pills, and patches which do nothing more than make a prolonged withdrawal from nicotine. The truth is, that nicotine withdrawal lasts a maximum of 48-72 hours, and is only characterized by headache, some irritability, difficulty concentrating, and mild depression.

Spiritual growth: the key to wellness and longevity
Author: Dr. Sparks Lunney

Dr. Carl Rogers' classic On Becoming a Person (1961) describes the "Good Life" from a therapist's point of view as "being a Fully Functioning Person". This is the same state of wholeness perennially described in the world's spiritual literature. Indeed, Rogers traces his understanding of wholeness to Lao Tzu's Tao Teh Ching -The Way of Life, written around 500 BC."The surest test if a man is sane is if he accepts life whole, as is..." writes Lao Tzu. The way to do is to be, to go with the flow, tobe open, flexible and creative. The way to lose at life is to be rigid, inflexible, obsessed with thoughts about the past ("if only") or the future ("what if"), and to keep regular company with feelings such as fear, anger and self-pity. Lao Tzu's spiritual classic is the second most translated book in the world, second only to the Bible.

Spend Time At Holidays In Celebration, Not Sadness
Author: John G. Banks

The blessed event of Christ’s birth, our Savior, brightens our homes with joy and happiness. For some however, these days are fearful, stressful and sad. These situations and feelings are what is left after alcohol and drugs enter this most holy of days. "The day after" contains the smoldering ashes of a warmth, of a togetherness, turned into a blazing fire. I am not saying that these terrible situations are planned, but the reality is they happen. It occurs next door, with your friends, and most of all, with family members whom we love with all of our heart.

Restoring Dignity
Author: John G. Banks

In dealing with those individuals from addiction, codependency, and other dysfunctional behaviors, a common thread runs through each story I hear. These people give up and give in. This behavior eventually leads to loss of personal dignity. Each person performs and puts on an act, while hiding and wearing an assortment of masks. They continue to hope that no one will find out how they deal with life and reality, their lives become a struggle. Loosing one’s dignity is not an over night quest. Year after year, they practice until this loss of dignity occurs. The result is simple; loss of respect joined with a low self-worth. When we focus our attention of actions, thoughts, and feelings of another human being, we are positioning ourselves to receive Gods?punishment for disobedience. In looking at the book of Leviticus, we see how the book of laws has a distinctive meaning to those people that have chose to turn their back on God.

Historically-Based Alcoholism Treatment Center Opening in Vermont!
Author: Jeffrey J Foley

Before we can explain the motivating force behind the Vagabond Lodge, it should be known that the entire staff, from Directors to part-time support staff, have had years of experience struggling with addictions and attempts at recovery. We went in and out of multi-disciplined, medically-based treatment centers, where we were offered education on the disease concept. We met with licensed professionals, who held "expert" credentials and knowledge on addictions. We were constantly exposed to a watered-down version of 12-Step recovery. The outcome for us, as well as countless others, was chronoc relapse, misery, and return to treatment facilities which, at best, were producing a dismal success rate..... Finally, we were introduced to the power and success of the "early, basic 12-Step Program of Recovery that shook the world"...Carefully documented records from the late 1930's and early 1940's showed success rates ranging from 75-93%! When we learned and worked this c! arefully laid out program, we were finally su

From The Heart
Author: Kay Kopit

The rough, russet carpet of the front room of our tiny apartment was threadbare. My brother John, age 7, and I, age 9, scooted and ran around this space, unaware that we lived below the poverty line. Our father had recently deceased and my mother was desperately trying to support the two of us by working long hours as a hairdresser. Her good intentions were seriously impaired by the onset of alcoholism. In order to survive in our family, which was experiencing great emotional pain and stress, we developed maladaptive, compulsive behavior. Both John and I were neurotic and did a variety of unbalanced acts to get our needs met. The saving grace of these desperate years of my youth was the amazing community in which we lived, Clayton, Missouri.

A decade later, when the children were all in their teens, those who as four year olds had been able to wait for the two marshmallows were different as a group, from those who were unable to wait. Those who had been able to delay gratification were now less easily frustrated, less stubborn, more popular, better able to handle stress and more confident.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction and Rehabilitation
Author: Jerry Goldfarb

Just what is addiction, you asked? Addiction is a physiological dependence on something, and is both physical and psychological in nature. When a person is addicted they literally need to feed that addiction constantly. Addiction is a traitor it sneaks up on you. People who are addicted often do not recognize that they have a problem, they think that the problem is with everyone. Addiction is different from abuse, a person can abuse drugs and not be addicted. The two most vital factors in determining addiction are tolerance and physical dependency. Addiction is very destructive, and most of the time people who are suffering from it end up hurting themselves and their love ones. It is hard to overcome but once the person began to see addiction as a problem in their life they can immediately seek alcoholism treatment or addiction treatment.

Do you have a soft addiction?
Author: Judith Wright (founder - The Wright Institute for Lifelong Learning)

After a tough day, do you come home and flop in your easy chair, grab a bag of chips and zone out in front of the television? Or maybe you compulsively check your e-mail, spend hours surfing the Net or stay up late chatting with strangers in chatrooms. Whether you get lost in cyberspace, over shop, watch too much TV, gossip, bite your nails, daydream excessively, procrastinate or over-exercise, you may be caught in what Judith Wright calls a “soft addiction”.

The question is always "why do so many people struggle with continued relapses and return to destructive using, drinking or eating patterns"? Are there effective ways being used to interrupt these patterns that work. If so, what are the promising trends in today's treatment programming.
