Session 07 - Conquering Addiction

Conquering Addiction

Having your needs met and when your needs are met, you are much happier and it becomes much easier to kick the habits.

What you believe becomes your reality. If you believe you can, you can. 'if you believe you can't, you cant.

And whats your WHY about wanting to kick your habit?

Just imagine, if a baby when born could speak, he/she could ask to have nappy changed , to be fed, to be hugged and cuddled. IThe baby would have no need to scream and cry for hours. The baby would be able to express its needs and have them met.  So often children grow into adulthood not having their needs met or not able to truly express their needs and probably the greatest of these is unconditional love and acceptance or as Carl Rogers put it : to receive unconditional positive regard. Not having our needs met can cause all sorts of issues for us as adults. How many adult babies do you know?

From eating disorders to smoking to heroin, cannabis , cocaine, gambling, these are all addictions.   And so whether you think you can or you think you can't overcome your addiction.  You're right. What you believe becomes your reality.   What's your why for wanting to overcome addiction?
