Living with Addiction
Beyond the superficial smiles and everyday glances in the working world, many people are living with addictions, behind closed curtains. It's not necessarily always what you'd think: junkies don't tend to always sit on street corners. In fact, some hold down 6 figure jobs, at least until they hit rock bottom. Living with an addiction causes even more stress to a stress-filled life; the secrecy and the shame can take their toll. If you are living with an addiction, whether it be to drugs, gambling, theft, or something else, the best way to deal with it is head-on. Planning an all out attack against addictive behaviors is the way to go: find others who are in the same boat with you, and support each other. Know why you want to quit, and then do it. The impulse to addiction may still exist, but you can learn how to move past it and lead a healthy life.
