Treatment For Pornography Addiction And Why You Shouldn't Wait

By Robert Guida

I can't help but notice that there are more and more people suffering from pornography addiction and it isn't something to be surprised of. Obviously the reason behind this is because of the internet, it is becoming more and more available to everyone, young or old and it is so easy for anyone to get a hold of. Now if you also happen to suffer from it and are searching for treatment for pornography addiction, you are not out of luck. In fact, as much as porn is becoming more available, so is treatment for pornography addiction. But first, before we give you the answer on where you can find good ones, here's a few tips why you should join a treatment for pornography addiction and not wait any longer.

Now first off, why you shouldn't wait any longer to join a treatment for pornography addiction. Have you ever noticed how most smokers say they will quit now or this year or next week but never really do? Same thing can be said with pornography. In fact, porn is even harder to quit can tobacco and a few contributing factors for that. One is because the trigger is inside of you. When you smoke, you need nicotine but when you feel the urge to watch porn, your brain releases tons of endorphins and neurochemicals. To keep it simple, the more it is being released, the more addictive it becomes.

Now another factor that makes porn addiction all that harder to quit is that there are no warning signs. Everyone knows that smoking or drinking is bad for you and can lead to many harmful things. You often hear them but never hear anything about porn addiction. Also, most people never realize who dangerous it is until it's too late.

Truth is, it will always lead to something else. Porn will lead to masturbation, then webcam sex, then searching for people online for sex, prostitution etc. Ultimately, it will end up with you committing infidelity or you can even end up with a change in sexual orientation. Obviously there are many other things it can lead to but those mentioned above are enough of a reason for you to get treatment for pornography addiction.

Now as much as pornography addiction is a serious problem, you can also find good help. There are many good treatment for pornography addiction but your best bet would be to find it online. The reason is because they tend to me very effective, relatively cheap and much more convenient than seeing a therapist. Furthermore, getting porn addiction treatment online will keep you off the radar so no one will know that you suffer from it. Joining a group of some sort can.

What Is Alcohol Substance Abuse?

By M Cohan

Alcohol substance abuse is one of the largest mental health issues in America today. It causes untold harm to individuals and families across the nation. There is no socioeconomic group unaffected by alcohol substance abuse, in part because alcohol is a legal drug and there is no social negativity associated with mild alcohol use. It is only when the person slips over the line into alcohol substance abuse that it begins to cause legal and social problems.

According to statistics, between 48 percent and 64 percent of individuals who perish in fires are intoxicated by alcohol. Children who drink before they reach 7th grade often have school delinquency, problems with peers and academic problems. Many go on to abuse in later life and only tack on further social and legal problems. Drinking alcohol excessively contributes to strokes, cancers and heart disease-the three main causes of mortality.

There are currently 3 million Americans who are older than 60 and who suffer from alcohol substance abuse and, on the other side of the spectrum, teens who use alcohol are more likely than those who do not use alcohol to have had four or more sexual partners. In fact, 39 percent of teens who drink have had 4 or more partners. Too much alcohol also decreases one's inhibitions so unprotected sex is more likely.

This terrible disease also creates a number of liver problems. Fatty liver is common and alcoholics develop cirrhosis of the liver around 10-20 percent of the time. Liver cancer also causes problems with some alcoholics. Esophageal varices are associated with liver damage and can cause unexpected death in individuals who suffer from alcohol substance abuse.

More than 2 million drunk drivers are on the road each year. Many cause accidents and deaths to themselves and others by not driving correctly. Those older than 21 are not of any help to younger users of alcohol. Most teens with alcohol substance abuse get their alcohol from people who are older than 21 years of age. This causes more drunk drivers as well.

Alcohol substance abuse is a major problem in the US. Some who use alcohol excessively are considered alcohol substance abusers. Others, who have physical effects from this ravenous disease or whose entire life is surrounded by alcohol are considered alcoholics and need some kind of alcohol treatment before they can get off alcohol indefinitely. Most of the time, treatment is the only option for those in need of help with alcoholism and beyond.

Our TV show is a demonstration that ANYONE is a candidate for treatment and can overcome their addiction. There are thousands of treatment options available to people in the United States.

Are You Addicted to Work?

By Elaine Bailey

"The most successful people I know create superior results yet still maintain a balance among work, family, and recreation in their lives."
Jack Canfield, Success Coach
~~~
People who I coach are often living reactively, struggling with too much to do and drowning in chaos and overwhelm. Yet they really love their jobs and are striving to be successful.
They feel like they are swimming against a rising tide and the only way to survive is to sacrifice personal time as the distinction between work and personal time dissolves.
Dan Sullivan, in his book 'The Time Breakthrough' describes the biggest danger facing modern people today is:
"...that they are running out of time in all areas of their lives."
This danger is physical as well as psychological: sickness, developing stress-related illnesses and even dying early.
Most people I coach love their jobs and are passionate about success. Some are on call 24/7 facing demands from several time zones and meeting extremely demanding deadlines. Globalisation has put greater demand on organisations and constant developments in technology as made it easier for us to work anywhere at any time. Health professionals and academics believe that this change in the work place has produced a world-wide epidemic of 'work-a-holism.'
I would agree with them.
It's easy to become hooked if you love your job. Although you don't want to work long hours forever, you become conditioned into it. Consequently, this creates denial of your addiction to work. Personal time becomes a casualty:

• Relationships suffer
• A tendency to over eat
• Prone to drinking too much
• Not enough exercise
• Not enough sleep

So how do you know if you're addicted to work?
Answer √ or X to the following statements:

• I talk about work most of the time
• I'm more excited about my work than I do about my family and friends
• My friends and family expect me to always arrive late
• I work more than 48 hours a week
• I often underestimate how long it takes to do something and end up having to 'burn the midnight oil' to finish it at the last minute
• I believe that it's okay to work long hours if you love your job
• Work is the last thing that I usually think about before I go to sleep
• Work is the first thing that I think about when I wake up
• I'm scared that if I don't work hard then I will lose your job
• I'm scared that if I don't work hard my boss will think that I'm not effective?
• Work is the highest priority, family is second
• I sleep with my BlackBerry/iPhone and will check for emails if you wake up during the night
• I always take work on holiday with me
• I allow work to contact me while I'm on holiday
• Working long hours has had a negative effect on my relationships
• Work is always on my mind even when I'm sending time with my family or friends
• I'll change my private plans for the benefit of work
• I usually work through my lunch breaks
• I take on extra work because I'm concerned that it won't get done otherwise
• I don't get around to booking personal appointments because of work being my priority
• I use evenings and weekends as a way to 'catch up' with work emails and tasks I couldn't get done during the week

If you have answered √ to 5 or more, then you are most likely suffering from an addiction to work.
How to break the addiction
Successful people have learnt how to swim against the tide of information overload, unprecedented and unpredictable demands and develop systems practices and processes to be able to balance work, family and personal time.
This can involve some big paradigm shifts. I would always recommend working with a coach.
A good coach will help you to:
1. Recognise your addiction patterns and habits - This is the first step. Self-awareness is very important. So you can begin to pay attention to these. How do they manifest and what impact do thy have on your success?
2. Get clear - What do you want in your life? How do you want to show up differently? You get to decide what YOU want to change and begin to make some decisions.
3. Be selective - Because there are many demands placed upon you have to define your high value activities and focus on these. These are activities that relate to the quality and quantity of your work time, personal time and resting time. Activities that help you to achieve your goals, improve your relationships that are linked to your values and success. Low value activities can be automated, delegated or deleted.
4. Set some boundaries - Schedule your activities in advance. This includes your work, personal and rest time. It's not just about having a To Do List and prioritizing. It's all about being productive. You set clear boundaries and learn to say no. Stop rescuing others learn to trust people and delegate. You can't do it all on your own.
5. Be Persistent - Changing habits and patterns can take time. Change starts with small incremental steps. You don't have to change everything at once.
