    Addiction is a BIOS-genetic, psychosocial, chronic, progressive illness
    with cultural & family dynamics.

    Some human beings often times unconsciously become addicts to help them deny
    their own personal reality concerning their human limitations, brokenness & pain.

    Denial, rationalization & blame rule the addicts personal thoughts, decisions & life.  
      
    Ego ( Edging God Out )-Self will run riot-I want what I want when I want it-
    My way or the highway-No one will ever do that to me again-No forgiveness.

    Problem:

    Emotional walls-No feel no heal-No pain no gain.

    Ego keeps addicts stuck in their denial & delusion-Their addiction is really in charge.

    John Bradshaw:

    All addiction in a sense is about not being able to say no or not having that boundary.

    I believe all addictions are an aborted spiritual quest for God.

    Little false Idolatries or religions.

    If you have a spouse, relationship partner, child, relative, friend or co-worker that has a
    problem with alcoholism, drug addiction or any other type of addiction you already know
    what an addict is & what addiction is really all about.

    Addictions are cunning, baffling & powerful according to AA Alcoholics Anonymous.

    Addictions are more powerful than any human being
    & all human beings are powerless over any type of addiction or codependency issues.
    All includes all alcoholics, drug addicts, other types of addicts & their codependents
    ( family members, relatives, friends, loved ones or co-workers ).
