Addictions are habits that control us which we crave and or feel withdrawal symptoms from and continue despite evidence of harm being done in some arreas of our life. Classically alcohol and drugs but it can be eating , sex, social media, even fishing. It is rising exponentially the more unhappy and socially disintgrated people are becoming. Yet not everyone gets addicted. We discuss the social, psychological and biological theories of addiction and current therapies. Successful treatment starts with commitment integrated with team work addressing different factors and priorities along the way. What is important to understand is that there is effective non judgemental help readily available for people. Just ask. Government policy can play a huge part as in Portugal and Norway where illicit drugs are legalised and people put into therapy and given jobs and re integrated with outstanding results.
