Does an Addict Trade One Addiction for Another? – Vol. 526 – December 5, 2019
Addictions come in many forms. However, in answer to this question, no, not all addicts trade one addiction for another. It is true that alcoholics that give up alcohol many times will become sugar addicts their systems used to the sugar that alcohol is made from.
However, the way in which addicts can give up addictions is by having something more important to them than having an addiction to fill that ‘hole in their soul” – and to heal the real cause for the addiction in the first place. People don’t just become addicts. They become addicts because the addiction is fulfilling some need they have like to not think the negative thoughts they have – many alcoholic being depressives actually and then taking a depressive (alcohol) to not have those horrible thoughts any longer.
Unfortunately many of the so-called addictions programs focus so much on the addiction itself and stopping it, that they never get to the real cause of the problem – the psychological pain the addiction is used to cover and never help the person to fill the time that was used to procure and use the substance or do the behavior (sex addicts, gamblers, etc.) with something that is much more meaningful to them.
