Hobby vs. Addiction
Here are some key factors to help you determine if you might have a process addiction:
- The person's mental and/or physical health is negatively impacted by engaging in the activity or behavior, such as increased irritability or sleep deprivation
- The person is unable to stop engaging in the behavior or activity, despite negative consequences or effects
- Strained relationships with friends and/or family as a result of the activity or behavior. Work relationships may also suffer.
- Negative consequences directly associated with their continued, extreme, or chronic behavior because of the addiction. This might include illness, losing a job, losing valuable relationships, financial issues, etc.
Process addictions are just as dangerous as substance addictions. Read that again. Process addictions are just as dangerous as substance addictions. Often times, process addiction addicts simply believe that something is "wrong" with them. They begin to feel helpless, hopeless, ashamed, and empty. There is SO much hope for addicts!
