5 Signs You've Got Addiction All WRONG?!

Hey everyone! Today, let’s talk about 5 signs you’ve got addiction all wrong!

Ready – let’s dive in!

If you think that addiction is a moral failing, or do you think that you are a loser?! Think again!

Sign 1: Addiction is a biopsychosocial and spiritual disease. It has nothing to do with being ‘good’ or ‘bad’.

Sign 2: Punishment isn't the answer. Studies and experts tell us that compassion and understanding help more than ostracization.

Sign 3: Just stopping isn’t as easy as flipping a switch. Addiction often fills a void or is a coping mechanism for emotional pain. It’s a symptom, NOT the core problem.

Sign 4: Addiction isn't just about substances. It can be behavior like gambling or even workaholism.

Sign 5: Addicts are unworthy of LOVE or Respect?! Think again - Addiction is a disease, and people suffering from it deserve the same love and tolerance as anyone suffering from any other chronic disease.

If this resonates with you or someone you love, reach out. I’m here to help.
