Overcoming Addiction

A good first step to overcoming addiction is to release the neg. K and integrate parts. However, as almost everyone have also pointed out, there still seems to be a missing piece of the puzzle which is where the NLP model leaves off. The missing piece that that addiction is a psychological disorder, the source of which is how the personal processes information.

A basic presumption of NLP is that we all have the resources we need and that by removing the "blocks", then everything will be just fine. This is simply not the case with addicts. We are not the same as 'normal' folks.

It took me 48 years to see that the source of my addiction had little to do with emotions, eating habits, savoring my food, drivers, self love, etc. The source of addiction is how the addict processes information and perceives the world. The process must be changed to provide the 'relief' that the the addict is seeking.

Again, getting rid of the 'triggers' is a good beginning and will produce some positive results. However, as with other psychological disorders, ADHD, OCD, ASD, addiction cannot be fully addressed unless the underlying process is addressed. http://www.swish4fish.com
