Addiction theories

Addiction is a word that often conjures up thoughts of drugs or alcohol, yet it refers to the concept of being unable to live without something. This could be anything - coffeee, shopping, a fetish. If you spend time thinking about something to such a degree that it starts dominating your life, it could be an addiction. I can think of at least one addiction I have - crack! Before you gasp in horror (or longing!) - I'm talking about facebook! Someone coined a new nickname for this addictive site - so addictive it's like crack! "He's got crack!", "she's on crack!", " he needs to get crack!" etc.

Other addictions dominating my life - BLOGGING; Prison Break; CSI NY and possibly smoking (when I'm driving or on the computer or socialising)...still haven't fully accepted the latter as an addiction though - I'm working on it!

If you're looking for some release from your specific addiction, my advice: get help! Or keep yourself locked up; or run out of money so you just can't buy the substance - that always works well with me. If you're looking for a less aggressive approach, however, try crystals. Hematite is a useful stone for overcoming compulsions and addictions. This effective stone treats overeating, smoking and any form of indulgence and helps one come to terms with one's mistakes. It also dissolves negativity and prevents negative energies from entering the aura, restoring peace and harmony to the body. Hematite shouldn't be used where inflammation is present or for long periods of time.

So next time you feel that irresistible urge to get your fix, grab some hematite....you might need a lot of it! Talking of which, best I get some now because I'm on a blogging roll!
