Trying to avoid being homless, no advocacy groups for mental health in USA and no national discussion on mental health care.
Please keep in mind that in my Mother’s lifetime, who retired not to long ago, people were given lobotomies for
addiction
issues.

Finally home
The hospital want me to go to an
addiction
place, to get help with the codeine
addiction
but I’ve refused and they put down “in denial”. Sorry for this post, I know it’s just rambling but I needed to get it all out. I’m sorry xx

How I gave myself a food addiction through dieting
The only conclusion is that I have developed a food
addiction
. Over last three months I have gained 2kg every month and almost doubled my fat percentage. During which I was cycling for about 2 hours and doing gymnastics for 1.5 hours every single day. I don't know where to go from here.

Addiction concerns
I'm a bit worried about the
addiction
side of this? People are telling me different things? Some say I will become addicted? Some say it's fine under gp supervision! Some say i should taper down the dose? There is not much info on the web apart from becoming addicted to extremely high doses?

No matter how big a crowbar you buy you cannot persuade ‘nicotine
addiction
’ to be the answer. That’s when you realise that despite a good attempt he hadn’t quite got it right. All he had to do (I think) was to do a search and replace of nicotine with smoking and he may have solved it.

My 1 year runniversary!
Don't deviate from the programme and don't run consecutive days, stick to the set distances, walk/stop when you're told to, get proper running trainers fitted in a proper running shop, and start to watch out for signs of
addiction
to buying running gear (tip: shop in Aldi for great sports gear that doesn't

Amfexa - Adult ADHD - Obsessions?
Although he started exercising and was limiting caffeine he was finding kicking the alcohol
addiction
a lot harder. He decided to seek medication in order to help him with this. Saw the doctor who put him on amfexa.

QuickMist Addiction
I realised I wasn't free of
addiction
. I became addicted to the spray, Nicorette Quickmist. It was so easy to use and I so enjoyed those 'puffs' of 1mg nicotine with that sweet menthol burning sensation in my mouth. I couldn't go 15 min without it, and I couldn't imagine my life without it.

WHAT HAS HELPED ME COPE WITH MY TINNITUS!!
(talk to your Doctor) most days when I'm not out and distracted I take a quarter of a Xanax which seems to help me work in my office ...BUT I worry about acclimation or
addiction
so 'Google' it and also you'll need a prescription.

This is it! Week 9! 1 down, 2 to go!
Running has turned from a chore into an
addiction
and now I’m where I am, I won’t just give it up. Onwards and upwards! To those just starting out, or finding it hard... keep at it. Keep finding the time. Keep putting the trainers on. Keep going out of the door. It soon becomes a habit.

My mother doesn't understand my anxiety and depression
I am currently in recovery from
addiction
and honestly, everyday is a struggle. My
addiction
began when I realized that when I did drugs it made me feel better. I'm having a hard time dealing with a mother that doesn't and honestly, doesn't care to understand how I feel on a daily basis.

Still waiting...
So here I am on week 8 and I'm still waiting for that endorphin high, the '
addiction
' to running. Any clues on when it might happen, what I'm waiting for? I run because I need to do exercise, it's like taking medicine, not enjoyable, but needs to be done. Maybe if/when I lose a stone or two?

This is my first post.. thanks for listening
I’ve been sober from alcohol for 19 months and this past week it’s been very clear to me that social anxiety was the cornerstone of my
addiction
... it’s keeping me back from every aspect of my life.. I finally started dating in sobriety and I can’t believe the fear and anxiety this has aroused.

Fearing the anxiety of the week...
Just don’t want to deal with
addiction
problems down the line. Does anyone have suggestions on coping strategies for anxiety? I am trying to not dwell and live in my the present and not the past, but boy is it a challenge.

Massive anxiety
I want to binge eat, as it is my destructive
addiction
. But I notice the more I face my mental home movies, the less the food can jam the projector (or, in more modern times, switch apps or hit ESCAPE!) So instead of eating I am writing.
