Addiction often starts subtly—whether through casual drinking, recreational drug use, or impulsive behaviors like gambling. Over time, these actions can evolve into harmful patterns, affecting not just your health but also your relationships and responsibilities. I understand how addictions—whether to substances or behaviors—can take over your life, and I’m here to help you take it back. With the right support, recovery is possible.
Recognizing the Signs of Addiction
It’s not always easy to know when it’s time to seek help. In this example, we’ll use the word “drug”, but it relates to all types of addiction whether it is drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, etc. If any of the following sound familiar, addiction counseling may be what you need:
- Feeling the need to use the drug, regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day
- Having intense urges for the drug
- Over time, needing more of the drug to get the same effect
- Being certain that you maintain a supply of the drug
- Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities
- Doing things you wouldn’t normally do to get the drug, such as stealing
- Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using the drug
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug
- Failed attempts to quit using the drug
