So just what are addictions?

Addictions are those things that we do that we find we cannot easily stop - even though we may logically know we have control it may seem as though we are at battle with ourselves.

Sadly many of the things that we become addicted to have other effects on us that make it even harder to stop - like alcoholl and drugs for example.

Whatever it is you may find your or a loved one addicted to it is possible to change that behaviour if the person desires to do that. From a solution perspective we would as in other areas look for times of strength and ability and look to see what we were doing then. Other counselling perspectives deal with addiction in many different ways.

What I would suggest is that if this is an area you are struggling with please feel free to contact me - I know people in many parts of the UK who may be able to help if you are not local to me - and even know of others in other countries.

You can always use the Internet to research your particular circumstance - but if you need help with that don't hesitate to ask.
