How do I know if I’m an addict?

Four hallmarks of addiction are:

  • Repeated attempts to stop. Have you tried to stop many time but just can’t seem to stay stopped?
  • Suffering consequences because of your behavior. It can often take a loss of a job, marriage, relationship, health (herpes, AIDS, std’s) to wake us up.
  • Escalation. Where we started us not where we end up. The same old things don’t do it for us anymore. We find ourselves going places and doing things we didn’t think possible.
  • It goes against our belief system. We think know it is wrong but can’t seem to stay away.

If these ring true in your life give us a call. It’s confidential.
