Sometimes behaviours and reactions to difficult personal situations
that seem to offer an appropriate solution at an outset, can become
inappropriate and then damaging over periods of time. If your
attempts at problem solving have become habitually confused
reactions that are in fact problem making, then maybe it is time to
ask for help with your feelings and their emotional consequences.

Mismanaged anger and resentment can be as addictive in their own
right as substance misuse, as well as being major components of
any such misuse. Self-pity with its fog of denial, depression and
justification, can be just as compelling a problem as any other form
of addiction. Selfish, manipulative behaviour can start to spiral out of
control; feelings of being blocked or thwarted can distort personal
and occupational relationships courting nothing but catastrophe.

There is a way to see life anew, in fact that is why addiction is such a
seductive illness, quick fix strategies can seem so attractive. Attempts
to change to a new way of 'living', can end up instead emphasising ill
placed elements of old ways of thinking. Treatment is a process of a
safe and guided journey toward a more efficient problem solving
technique, vivifying a resolution that is more loving and caring of
your own ideal of a universal humanity and sense of personal
happiness.
