Identification "What is Addiction"
Being a person who has suffered with addiction and has also loved those that suffer with addiction. The most significant information that changed my way of thinking, This is a disease that has happened to you not that you have chose to do! I give this example to clients all the time, " I did not go out a chose to have high blood pressure it is something that happened to me but if I don't eat right and take my medication it will kill me. Having an addiction is not something that you have control over but treatment for that addiction is.

Consider heart disease. It's partly due to genes and partly due to poor life style choices such as bad diet, lack of exercise, and smoking. The same is true for other common diseases like adult-onset diabetes. Many forms of cancers are due to a combination of genes and life style. But if your doctor said that you had diabetes or heart disease, you wouldn't think you were bad person. You would think, "What can I do to overcome this disease?" That is how you should approach addiction. Addiction is like most major diseases.
Addiction is not a weakness. The fact that addiction crosses all socio-economic boundaries confirms that addiction is a disease. People who don't know about addiction will tell you that you just need to be stronger to control your use. But if that was true then only unsuccessful people or unmotivated people would have an addiction, and yet 10% of high-functioning executives have an addiction.
If you think of addiction as a weakness, you'll paint yourself into a corner that you can't get out of. You'll focus on being stronger and trying to control your use, instead of treating addiction like a disease and focusing on stopping your use

Follow my personal spiritual journey of recovery from addiction, depression and abuse. We are not apart of organized religion and believe that ministers/ministries are servants and tools of God. We do not believe in idolatry placing any structure , organization, or person in authority above the Lord. No one has the right to judge another instead we believe in speaking life in to every person and have created a safe space where everyone is able to be their authentic self, you belong and you are loved for who you are.
