When most people hear the word, "addiction," they think of alcohol and/or drugs.
Period.
Clearly, those are the two items that fall under substance addictions.
The vast majority of addictions fall under "process addiction."
I am passionate about educating the world about process addictions!
It is so important that people realize the role that these play in our lives.
Addiction:
The individual repeats an activity or behavior to get the desired effect (fix). With substance abuse, the drug and/or alcohol is the vehicle of choice.
An individual can become addicted to a process or behavior, just as they can with a substance.
Addiction is when the individual is addicted to the feeling brought by a certain action or substance.
When a habit changes into self obligation - a lack of control, inability to stay away from the behavior; abandoning commitments, ignoring risk factors, ignoring relationship effects, etc.
Main causes of addictions (this list is not a complete list):
Environment (past and/or present, to include abuse, neglect, etc.)
Social Pressure
Lack of Social Support
Poor Coping Skills
