Therapeutic and Addiction Group: “Find your own strength”

We are all dependent on our way of viewing the world.

We rarely realise that the self-image behind the addiction has little to do with the true self-image. In general the self-image is disproportionately too modest in case of the dependence on other people or too high, as in the cases of the addiction to power, sex or anger.

Often, as a result of their effective reduction, the addict is not conscious of these feeling. Equally often the addict delegates their feeleings on the neighbourhood

The others are not responsible for feelings of the addicted person. On the contrary, we are responsible for our actions. We can look for the source of the addiction at the deeper levels than our life (e.g. in the family history). And yet it does not change the fact that we ourselves are responsible for looking for solutions.

What is more nobody can find them for us. We are responsible for stopping the anger, the abuse of power and sex. We are responsible for our destructive relationships, for identifying with someone else’s restrictive views, for eating and drinking our anger, failure or depression. We are responsible for our inner destruction which we suppress with addiction and for all of the consequences of depending on the alcohol, sex, etc.

The most important dynamic of addiction is that it consumes more and more time. Frequency and intensity of the addiction increases during the life.

Then comes the time when the intensity of the addiction, together with the substance tolerance decreases. The substance addition (alcohol, medicine, psychoactive drugs) or behavioural addiction (e.g. from anger, partner, sex, shopping) may transition into different kind of addiction. For example an alcohol addict stops drinking and start searching for intense sexual relationships. A person who often gets angry and erupts may become dependent on someone who know how to tame this anger.

People with high levels of perfectionism (understood as a striving for the ideal and perfect) may develop various obsession, phobias and depressive states. Perfectionist women more often suffer form eating disorders: e.g. alternating between losing and gaining weight or orthorexia.

Nevertheless the addict remains in the state of limited awareness of own actions.

To work on the addiction, as we understand it in Aditus, means to create an opportunity for clients to accesses the lost part of theirselves. During the therapy clients rebuilds their own thought, feelings, behaviours in order to live a fuller life.

Working on the addiction tolerates no compromises, as the healthy life accepts no half-truths and half-measures. Gradually the client sees own life more and more realistically, and handles it better thanks to the clearer vision.
