my new addiction

I never thought that running and going the gym would become such an addiction. The half marathons I am running are both next year so I am starting the training now!!! The whole espiode with my heart gave me a kick I needed to restart my life and am really enjoying it at present.

Diazepam addiction.

Hi, I have been addicted to diazepam for a few years and have finally tapered down over a few months to 1mg per night. I honestly don't think it is strong enough to matter but if I don't have one just before I go to bed I cannot sleep. Also would taking magnesium oxide and 1mg of diazepam interact

Do I stay or do I go?

I love my partner very much, but he suffers with a drug addiction that causes me so much pain. I have been lied to more times than I can count and have had days of no sleep because of him and his addiction.

ADHD & phone addiction

help! Im so addicted to my phone! I can’t stand it. It’s taking over my life ! whenever I ask for help people tell me to just put it down or leave it in another room. I can’t ! It eats my brain up. I can’t shake it. Or sometimes I can for a while but then once my phone is back it’s just scroll scroll

Alcohol

Where can one find help with alcohol addiction for a loved one? My anxiety is high with this and I'm trying my best to stay positive. Maybe even a source just for me to help deal?

Shame & Addiction

My addiction has taken so much of my life away from me. At this point, it feels like I have lost everything. I am too scared to ask for help because society judges addicts harshly. If I get help, I know that I will be shamed.

Looking for positive support and good advice on similar or past experiences.

I'm struggling with clinical depression and addiction I find it hard to believe in myself most days and to recognize my accomplishments. I've lived a fast and nowhere near healthy lifestyle. I'm looking forward too being a better person.

I know that I said I can't give up coffee..

Coffee is an addiction 😫 and I was sick and couldn't get up to make Coffee and went through detox with a huge headache. I felt Luke Coffee had poisoned me. Plus I don't feel like I should drink it because I have this hyperfiltration thing happening.

I have ADHD but I'm afraid to make it official

I know that most ADHD medications can be habit forming and even though I have never had an addiction I have an addictive personality. I think the reason I have never had an addiction is because I have steered clear of anything that could lead to addiction.

Experiences with getting off of Benzodiazepines?

He is scared of addiction and won't take them, which means nights are not manageable for either of us. Thanks for your help!

Anxiety with COPD

I'm 79 years old & have severe COPD, my Dr prescribed me with a short course of Diazapan which has made me feel more relaxed but won't let me have them long term because of addiction. I've tried other meds but these work better for me.

Theory suggests diet leads to Alzheimer's Disease

I am not surprised that scientists have a theory that high levels of fructose lead to a form of food addiction and this leads to inflammation, resulting in Alzheimer's.
