"Healing the Hurt Behind Addictions and Compulsive Behaviors" - by Carol Howe

     "Our world today desperately needs a new way to approach the topic of addictions. It cries out for a more advanced, humane, and compassionate way to understand the forces underlying mankind's addictive and compulsive behaviors and to elucidate a simple, proven, universal solution.

     Yes, you read that correctly so listen up, all you who seek for answers! There actually are solutions and processes to comfort those who suffer from addictive and other behavioral dilemmas. They are free and simple. Most of us have a long-standing habit of making the topic of addictions complicated and serious, insuring job security for a great many individuals, institutions, government agencies, and businesses.

      For instance, the stop-smoking ads refer to "cravings" and how to reduce them but do not explain what is really at work or why. Refusing to look at the actual nature of addictive behaviors and their cause guarantees that the problem will forever remain unresolved. The issue is actually not so complex as once we might have believed and the only questions we must ask ourselves are, 'Do we truly want an answer to our problems, or do we just want to rearrange them, justify and lament them, fight against them and find someone to blame?'"
