A few words about addiction....
A quiet day at work so I thought I would add my pennyworth to the whole 'running is addictive' debate. You may recall that Pavlov had some dogs. He rang a bell and gave the dogs some food, After a time, the dogs salivated whenever they heard the bell. They were conditioned through a process of reinforcement

Is there any one who has endo in the bowel? I'm at the end of my rope.
I know opioid
addiction
is something i don't want or need but they haven't given me any alternatives. If a dog was in this much pain they would put it down. Please give me anything to try? I've had the pill, injection,gnr,3 laparoscopys and most recently the coil.

Morphine Management
Has anyone tried morphine for, say, five days and then perhaps a two day break to avoid
addiction
? Just an idea, as loathe drugs, steroids and orthodox medicine generally but it would be stupid not to acknowledge they have their place and thank heaven for that.

Dealing with loved one who won't seek help
We have tried talking to him many times about rehab and therapy - as a sufferer of a few mental disorders, it's obvious that he is depressed & that is the core of his behavior (at least now), but he has refused to attend even the free therapy sessions we had for him with an
addiction
specialist.

My prescription changed - no improvement to my ADHD
I took 0.5 mg risperidone for a long-time period and it was like an
addiction
for me. After the passage of time that medicine stop working for my condition. I behaved like a psychopath then I discussed it with my doctor he said that according to my age I have to change my medicine.

Second time lucky
I guess we are never non smokers and must always treat it like the
addiction
it is, too easy to slide back into. Much like alcoholics, ex smokers must never have just one puff as it will inevitably lead to one cigarette, one packet, I'll stop tomorrow etc.........

My First Post
I suffered a huge drug
addiction
for 3 years which I managed to overcome a year ago, but it’s definitely left it’s mark on my life. Everyday I’m battling myself whether it’s 24 hours of depressive thoughts and emotions, or 7 days of constant hyperventilation and panic.

Drug addiction
COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE WITH
ADDICTION
. Well maybe it isnt a disease but lets say you started a certain anti-depressant or some kind of medication for a mental illness you have and you are dependent on it. That could be considered drug
addiction
but you cant help it.

Decision Time
Though I well never be prepared for them I am determined to face them head on to break this
addiction
. I also know its rarely a good idea to just deny ourselves something as we usually just binge more.

Time to share.....
By the time I moved, I had gotten so burned out from talking to others, I needed to withdraw in on myself just to recover from that, for lack of a better word,
addiction
. It wasn't until 2007 that my life finally began to turn the corner. I decided to try therapy again.

Love addiction and abandonment issues
I think I am struggling with love
addiction
and the fear of being abandoned. Since childhood my father used to tell me that it was clear my worst fear was being lonely, and because of that I was insecure and with low self esteem.

Rock bottom.
I used cannabis a lot during this time to the point where I have an obvious
addiction
. My lifestyle has become dangerous as I hardly sleep and when I feel low can go 3 or 4 days without eating anything.

10 Best Drug Rehab Centers in Arizona
An addicted person is still a person, not "an addict" and stands the best chance of getting their
addiction
under control when the mind and body are treated. A number of mental illnesses and disorders can be comorbid with
addiction
, as can some physical illnesses and disorders.

addiction
