July 12 2008 | Recovery Resource | ADonOddy | DonInLondon | Recovery Resource Videos | Alcoholics Anonymous | Addiction is often described as being unable to stop taking a substance or unable to stop a form of behaviour which is harmful. My experience strength and hope is shared here on these videos. I would suggest anyone anywhere with addictive behaviour to find professional medical support and helpful forms of support. The type of support we choose is a personal choice. For me, a combination of professional medical support and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, helps me keep sober on a daily basis. Professional advice on medical matters is paramount in my opinion. I have found fellowship keeps me safe from relapse and has improved my outlook on living simply a day at a time. I do not speak as a professional or speak for anyone else but me. I have found my life improved emotionally, physically and spiritually by keeping safe and to suggestions from professionals and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I do not represent Alcoholics Anonymous, I share how fellowship helps me keep safe one day at a time. music: “music for airports” Brian Eno: www.enoshop.co.uk my photo link: www.doninchelsea.myphotoalbum.com my other video: link www.doninlondon.myphotoalbum.com email me: [email protected] Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholic Alcoholism Addict Addiction DonInLondon Don Oddy Recovery Rehab

Addiction- How To Effectively Break An Addiction

Addiction is an illness in its own right and could cause the victim from achieving goals or reaching acceptable standards in different spheres of life due to too much stickablity. It is mainly a repetition of excessive behavior, more often negative ones, and the addict finds it very difficult to stop despite the harmful consequences.

It could be psychological addiction to narcotics addiction, tobacco addiction, alcohol cravings, online gambling addiction, watching too much television, sexual addiction, binge eating or similar things. The victim usually feels deprived when an effort to stop is applied. This is simply because the behavior has become a habit which makes satisfying the craving a must. Some specialists consider habits as expressions of aggressive and erotic impulses with little or no voluntary control. Fingernail biting, eyebrow pulling, overeating are some of the classic examples that are often overlooked till they get to a precarious level.

Addiction Gone: The Most Successful Way to Stop Binge Drinking

Binge drinking is everywhere- in every country, every state and region, every town, and every bar across the globe.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t stay there- it leaves the bar and enters the streets, where it takes tens of thousands of lives in the US alone (and that includes those that never get behind the wheel- a study in 2000 found that a full third of all pedestrians who died in traffic accidents were intoxicated).  It enters the home, where it destroys relationships and sometimes whole families, leading to a whole host of new problems.  In short, it enters every corner of your life.  That is, of course, unless you’re looking to stop it.
